In my free time,...

...students try to be difficult. I typically tutor algebra and calculus, which seem to be high in demand. My favorite subjects to teach are calculus and physics. With calculus, there's very little memorization when you understand the fundamentals of limits. Also, there are several ways to approach the material: graphically for those more visual, theoretical for those that like equations, and plug-and-chug for those that prefer processes. Physics is great because same relationships that occur...

...I was not being challenged intellectually, and I was craving it! After being away from academics (and having several life-changing experiences overseas) I came to realize how much I valued the pursuit of knowledge.

I went to South Puget Sound Community College as soon as I separated from the service. Knowing that I...

I have taken many courses in American and World History, Political Science, Governmental Studies, and all of these involved lots...

...social and 'hard' sciences, history and languageshows how much they intertwine and reinforce each other. All scienceall knowledgeis 'one'.

...essay process: seeing their ideas and arguments take shape and come to life on the page is very exciting for me. Education is one of the most important values in my life: it is indispensable not only because of society's increasing valuation of it, but because it makes us more well-rounded and flourishing people on the whole. I am a firm believer in the idea that learning should be fun - never a chore -...

...think that learning is one of the greatest advantages humans have. As a prospective medical student, I know what it is like to sometimes not fully understand a concept or subject. As a student who at first struggled to learn some of the toughest material, I learned from mistakes and shortcomings how to effectively learn and understand any concept. I love to teach people how to tackle a problem, how to truly grasp an idea...
