I hosted lectures every week in a variety of subjects spanning mathematics, engineering physics, to chemistry and the biological sciences.

My specialty is in the STEM field, particularly mathematics. Since math subjects tend to build on each other and remain necessary in the engineering field, most math subjects are still fresh in my mind. I excel in STEM subjects and have a high affinity for theory, so I'm...

...Regulatory Affairs at Northeastern University in hopes of developing breakthrough medical technology with quality, safety, and effectiveness.

...their full potential without any hesitation or concern about answering a question incorrectly, after all, in order to learn we all make mistakes. Initially, I seek to understand the learning styles of all of my students and how they feel most comfortable learning.

As a college student, I have very recent experience dealing with standardized test preparation, including SAT, ACT,...

...well as GRE test prep. From my experience in the classroom, I have discovered that it's very important to tailor the learning experience to each student. Every student is different and will benefit from varied methods. In general it's important to minimize lecturing and to give a student the opportunity to try and succeed at problems with gentle guidance. Outside of teaching, my interests are diverse. I enjoy reading, movies, CrossFit, theater, and dancing, specifically...

...is a wonderful thing, and it should not be difficult. I believe it is my job to explain this to someone who is struggling with learning something new, because all complex things in the universe is built up on simple concepts/structures. The only best way to learn is by both teaching and learning. One of the great things the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to say, "The best among you are the ones who learn and...

My belief focuses on challenging students to discover concepts through productive struggle. Education: My academic history includes a bachelors degree is in Ocean...

...can be intimidating to many. Every student has their own way of learning. My job is to figure out how my students learn and work within that framework to demystify these subjects. Everyone starts life as a scientist, questioning everything in their environment, and my goal is to bring my students back to their inherent inquisitive nature. In my spare time I enjoy playing board games with friends, experimenting in the kitchen, and amateur blacksmithing.
