It is very important is to have a good foundation in these subjects early on!

...only our modern world, but also our past and possible futures. My favorite teaching tools include using real-world examples and simple demonstrations to illustrate seemingly abstract concepts, such as atmospheric pressure and barometry. Hand-in-hand with scientific literacy, I encourage excellence in verbal and written communication. In editing, proofreading, and teaching writing to others, I strive to improve clarity, precision, and conciseness. When I am not teaching, I enjoy writing, drawing, listening to music, and outdoor...

...the variety allows me the opportunity to change things up from my comfort zone to be able to help my students with any assistance they may need.

With an array of experiences within the biomedical and healthcare industry, I desire to assist students in strengthening their foundation in the basic sciences that will assure them success in a science related career.

...I tutored my fellow students in all levels of Algebra and Calculus. After graduation I returned to my hometown of Columbus, OH and continued to tutor privately until I moved to Bowie, MD in May 2013. My favorite topics to tutor would have to be Algebra and Calculus. Algebra is one of the fundamental topics of Math and Calculus can be applied to an array of different subjects. I believe that Math builds upon itself...

...creates and administers the exam, and I find it the most realistic indicator of how the questions will appear on test day. I hand out guides for the Quantitive section (with formulas and hints for the Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis chapters) and the Verbal and Essay sections (with tips for learning vocabulary and guides for Sentence Equivalence, Reading Comprehension, and the Issue Essay). I received my BA in English Literature and U.S. History...
