Violin has been a passion of mine since I was 5 years old;...

I earned a degree in Psychology from UTSA, after which I completed additional coursework to earn my Teaching Certificate with a concentration in Early Childhood Education.

...I have tutored mandarin and violin before during my high school years. My teaching philosophy involves understanding overlying concepts into detail which allow for successful application. In my free time you will most likely find me playing basketball at the local gym, practicing violin in my garage, or making some music for YouTube. Overall, I am benign yet strict tutor who looks to assist my students to the best of my ability.... The session would begin with brief and lighthearted introductions. Additionally, I would evaluate the student's learning needs through their recounts, the observations of any parents, and a few questions with varying levels of difficulty. From that lesson, I would teach the way the student learns best.

...just not there in other subjects. It always makes sense and if for some reason it doesn't for a student, it is because the student has lost one or more of their tools. I will help you get the tools you need. I also tutor chemistry and I find chemistry students have similar issues.

Then I like to figure out what type of learning is best fit to the student-- one that balances both attentiveness and retention.

...become an SI, or Supplemental Instructor, in classes such as Psychology and History at my college. While comfortable teaching a large number of subjects, History, Psychology, Writing, Reading, and Geography are of my most superior subjects. The only thing I enjoy more than teaching, is learning, and I hope to instill that same thirst for knowledge in my students with my methods of teaching. As the first of my family to attend college, I am...

...but I originally moved here because I was studying optometry. During college, I had the chance to work with a number of students, teaching and supporting them as they worked hard toward their goals. Math and science can be challenging and frustrating, but I have personally seen what is it like for something to finally click with a student. All students come from different backgrounds, and will have different goals and expectations from themselves and...
