...from reaching my potential. Once I let that go, I discovered that even a belated and neglected learner, like I once was, could succeed in math. Math is a craft learned through doggedness and attention. Belief in ones own abilities can only be recognized through exposure and experience. This is what a tutor provides. I developed a large repertoire of math skills and memory tricks while being tutored and eventually decided to pass them along...

That's why I go to the effort to include background information and explain the lower levels of abstraction that so often make...

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." -Albert Einstein... To date, I have found that it is best to view tutoring as a team endeavor. I am a player on a student's team with the goal of academic success and increased intellectual understanding. This outcome is impossible without getting down to the student's level, utilizing age appropriate vocabulary, providing constructive criticism, and establishing their baseline. I have found that reviewing a student's past work...

I strive to improve science education by making science seem more accessible to students and reinforcing the “big picture” of a particular lesson before delving into the fine details. I am confident that this approach will lead to long term success in retaining scientific knowledge and...

...world around us functions is astonishing and I can't seem to get enough of knowing about it. Many see science as boring and difficult to understand, but I agree with Richard Dawkins when he wrote, "the feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable." I am also a believer in the Socratic Method. Whenever I uttered a phrase akin to "I...
