...subject they are struggling with. I do not believe this is true. I think that sometimes students struggle because each person thinks in a unique way and sometimes the conventional ways subject matter is taught is not compatible with one's thinking. With an undergraduate math and biology degree and while I am pursuing a PhD in Biomathematics, I do know that there are several ways to approach each type of problem; you just have to...

...awful! I was fortunate enough to have quite a few teachers in the first category and I've somehow managed to absorb their enthusiasm for teaching along with the material. I went through the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program and have gained experience working in startup companies and in industry. So I also know how to make the material relevant to the real world. I plan to return to school next year to pursue a PhD but in...

...questions. I also try to link the concepts also with real world problems so that they feel more motivated and get more interested in the field. I have been a teaching assistant in the university since two years and have taught courses of statistics, finance, accounting. Teaching and research have a become by passion and I am planning to pursue it as my profession I am also planning to pursue an expedited Masters and PhD...

...them more simple. I have been trained as a historian of the Italian Renaissance, and concentrate on the Republic of Venice, which some popular accounts claim lasted for a thousand years, from 797 to 1797. I think old-fashioned political and diplomatic history is the cat's meow! I disagree profoundly with the view that it is not relevant to the study of history today. I also like to mold and fashion Renaissance people among my students,...

...the Clusiaceae family of plants. I have accessed both marine and terrestrial biomes for research samples. During my post-doctoral training at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), I worked with marine sponges and associated fungi. This work explored the ability of actively growing fungi to re-route their metabolic profile when challenged by toxins. This project resulted in the production of three cytotoxic metabolites and reengaged the discussion of epigenetic modification in cultured marine fungi....

...for over 5 years. I enjoy helping students gain a better understanding of these subjects by engaging them actively. I like to make sure students are not just given answers, but have a clear understanding of how those answers were obtained. I try to use multiple approaches in tutoring, using not only formulas, but drawing and diagrams to help see what those formulas represent. I use a TI-83/84 calculator and Excel in my tutoring and...
