However, while working on those projects I quickly discovered that my lifelong dream of being an astronaut was not really what I wanted to do. I had always had...

...student at ASU. I'm happy to work with students of all ages and am a strong believer in determining whether a student is either a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic ('hands-on') learner before structuring my lesson plans. Figuring out which category of learning style a person is leads to more efficient tutoring sessions and new study techniques that the student will be able to use long after our sessions are over. In addition to teaching at...

...a manner a student can relate to, it's more understood and that familiar example is better remembered in a testing situation. I have experience teaching a Biology Lab for non-science major college students from freshman to seniors. It was the experience that ultimately showed me what I was capable of sharing information and how much fun it was. Education to me is something that should be enjoyed. If one is not enjoying what they are...

...Diego. Between my undergraduate education and medical school education, I tutored high school students in a variety of subjects, including Algebra, Chemistry, Biology, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, because it is one that students struggle with a lot, and it makes me happy to see a student grasp a concept they have worked hard to understand. I believe that there are many different ways to learn a concept, and I like...

...to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there.
