...have learned that different tutees have different learning styles, and more often than not, figuring out how to approach problems and link concepts together is usually the key, rather than rote memorization. This approach not only helps my tutees solidify concepts better but also promotes long-term understanding (both conceptually and in application), while making learning less repetitive and dull. As a first-generation, low-income student myself, I had to figure out how education and learning styles...

Beyond academics, my interests in arts, design, and photography complement my scientific pursuits. With a fundamental belief in service and helping...

As a tutor, I have extreme patience, as I understand students I work with will have trouble understanding the content, as I was tutored as well in the past.

...be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there is real joy in that!... Teaching is in...

I have worked with students in grades 2-8th and bridge...
