...the goal of education is to spark the curious nature of students, so that students are interested in exploring and learning more.

...student (especially in math) can be something like a game: there's a goal, there's someone to collaborate with, there are strategies to use, and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in a math or science setting. I also make a point of emphasizing thinking actively about different strategies when doing schoolwork, studying, reading, and test-taking. I...

...camp. I have also been an assistant coach on a private swim clinic. My favorite subjects to tutor are geometry and algebra.

I have worked with both children and adults learning English too. In my free time I study American Sign Language, go running, swimming, and...

...I enjoy staying active by running, biking, hiking, and doing yoga. I also enjoy looking at and creating art. I’m not fantastic at realism and subsequently stick to collages and abstract work. Of all the subjects I tutor, my favorite is biology. During school, I loved seeing how microscopic biology could be applied to subjects like anatomy and nutrition. I look forward to expanding my understanding of this concept in medical school.

As a professional tutor, I really enjoy the work I do. To me, a crucial part of life success is helping others, so I am dedicated to my work. Sometimes, when somebody shows us something we can't see for ourselves, we become capable of things we never thought we could do. ... Once you've learned something, it is never forgotten. It just needs to be recalled.... Assess the problem, set short and long-term goals, establish plans...

...material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy...

...problem solver, patient, and empathetic. I try to make learning fun for all students by pulling in students interests and incorporating appropriate educational games. Beyond education, I also enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, cooking, reading and playing soccer.
