I have applied those principles to independently developing and designing experiments to answer specific biological questions. Therefore as a tutor, I hope to cultivate in my students these same problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

...when I took non-traditional Organic Chemistry. This course differed from standard Organic Chemistry classes in that it was based on small ( four person) groups of students who taught each other the science that they needed to know, with lectures given only once a week. For both semesters, I led my group, initiating discussions and figuring out answers to others' questions. I learned that my greatest strength in teaching others is my ability to see...

...teaching and enrichment of content. By using informal and formal screeners along with pre assessments - I will always have a map of where to take any tutoring session. Having an academic and practical elementary/middle school application understanding of data definitely enforces corrective instruction, reteaching, or content enrichment that will occur. I have also worked a great deal with middle school students in pilot programs that center around blended and asynchronous learning. I am entering...

...the 10th grade where I uncovered a nascent interest in physics. After reading A Brief History of Time and realizing that math and physics were so inextricably linked, I decided that I wanted to learn more about the field that Gauss called, "the queen of the sciences."

I look forward to working with you to achieve the success to...

...style varies depending on who I am working with - for example, if someone is a learner by doing then I won't have them watch me do a practice example, instead I will give them one and have them talk me through the steps they are going through.
