...reward comes from teaching young students. Most of my students struggled and were often afraid to say what they thought because of the fear of being wrong.

I always told my students that I am open to all answers and that no one is ever truly...

...of Washington in Biology and Environmental Science. I specialized in Ornithology, the study of birds; I'm a big bird nerd. I've had experience tutoring biology, math, and environmental science for the Athletic Department at UW and serving as a Teacher Assistant for UW's Biology Department, including a biodiversity seminar to Peru. Just like the D1 student athletes I work with, academics sometimes don't come naturally, but I look forward to fixing that false assumption. In...

...material they're tackling. I've found that people tend to be much smarter than they think they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible to more people,...

Science may not come naturally to some students, but I believe that enthusiasm and persistence are more important than natural ability. I hope to share my passion for science with younger learners. I recently started a part-time job at...

...one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and...

...a philosophy student I also utilize the Socratic method while tutoring, which focuses on asking students questions in order to get them to reach their answers. Throughout my experience tutoring I've found that engaging a student in dialogue about the question at hand is far more successful than doing all of the talking.
