...with some classes as well is the disconnect between the teaching and the participation. As a tutor I engage the kids I work with to make sure they are understanding the concepts. Working one on one helps in this sense because I know specifically what they may be having trouble with. As a student myself, I know sometimes work seems overwhelming and impossible at times. Taking things slow, breaking down a problem, and seeing where...

...love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more.

Watching students develop confidence in their abilities...

...a little extra attention in certain subject areas. I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My...

...that inspires focused, investigative, creative learning: Im committed to the belief that the only way students learn is by by doing. I ask questions, I guide, I challenge, and I direct, but I always enable the student to find the answer on their own. I believe this is the only way that students learn not only to do the work, but to understand the work. Outside of teaching, I love theatre, movies, poetry, art, and...

...both learning and teaching roles. I started tutoring in high school and have been hooked ever since! I enjoy helping others succeed in any way I can. After spending a few years helping students in my hometown prepare for the SAT, I've more recently focused on the hard sciences. I've taught students of all ages in the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style....

...in subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, and of course, the general sciences. Working with these kids has taught me that the more you extend yourself to your students, the more they are encouraged to work harder and strive harder.

However, it is important to combine the two to develop methods and take approaches in a manner which makes...

...for high school and college level sciences. I was staff at weekly tutoring centers for both calculus and and organic chemistry, where I helped students with issues that came up on weekly problem sets or during their studying for exams. I also was teaching assistant for upper level chemistry and biology lab courses, where I helped students during lab periods complete and understand their experiments, assisted them in writing up those labs afterward, and reviewed...

...reasons for choosing this major was my passion to learn more about the sciences and mathematics. I have loved math ever since I was a child, my parents started teaching me to use strictly mental math from age 4, and since then, math has always been my strongest subject. My passion for mathematics stretches even farther when I tutored other students alongside me in class during my AP Calculus courses in High School, and even...
