...the best foundation for learning is to be a well-rounded and constant reader, and will often recommend various books to read along with normal studies to enhance the educational experience. My basic approach is to break a subject down into its fundamental concepts and make sure the student has a thorough understanding of how and why what they are studying is important as well as the specific topic at hand. In my free time, I...

...for a PhD in philosophy. After several adventurous decades including travel in Africa and Asia, building a house in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, running a business designing and selling jewelry, and building alternative straw bale buildings on my property in the White Mountains of Arizona, I started tutoring math at Northland Pioneer College in Snowflake and Show Low, AZ.

...of these subjects, but I understand they can be hard to a lot of student without one on one help. That's where I come in. I tutor math, science, social studies, reading comprehension, and test prep so that I can bring my passion for learning to students who aren't getting the help they need in the classroom. I have experience tutoring students from 13 to college age in math and science, and I'm looking forward...

...ancient Greek, it means "lover of discourse" which I also translate to mean "lover of learning." As a philolexian, I believe that I can learn just as much from my students as I can teach them.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Educational...

Outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors, sports (especially...

...student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed.

As a tutor, my goal is to instill confidence in students, develop a curiosity for the world, create a fascination for the fundamentals, and imbue motivation for learning from within the learner. I believe that every person has the...

...clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through...

...by which to inquire about and learn more of the world, but it's the best system we've got. Yet even still, it isn't perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math,...

Knowing the joy of tutoring I have helped multiple classmates, friends, acquaintances, and family members in almost every subject. I now tutor people in math, chemistry, and anatomy.

...knowledge base of the world increases dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in their quest for...
