I recently finished graduate school in Classics, which is the study of Latin and ancient Greek. Prior to that point, I taught high school Latin for two years. I have also tutored college students in writing. I am available to tutor most subjects, though my specialties are foreign language (German, Spanish, and Latin) and test prep. I teach by asking students the right questions so that they learn the method of finding the right answers.

...chemistry. I also spent some time as an undergraduate researcher in a neurodegenerative lab investigating Alzheimer's disease and learning valuable techniques that incorporated basic chemistry, math, and writing proficiency. I promoted STEM related topics to underprivileged youth by mentoring them using lectures and hands-on activities including neurophysiology, microbiology, and aerospace engineering. In addition to this, I have assisted with teaching elementary students basic science related subjects such as physics, chemistry, ecology and biology through small...

I am now enrolled as a student at Adler University working towards an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As such,...

As a student who is truly passionate about Math and Science, I seek to help others understand Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc, so that their foundation in the sciences is strong enough to take on more complex topics. I believe in letting my teaching style be dynamic in order to teach different students successfully.... My philosophy is that I should teach my students how to reason, not how to use a formula. Truly understanding a concept better...

...focus was placed on my education after the second grade. As a result I had to teach myself. Through trial and error in my own self-education, I learned how to approach study through many facets.
