...and learn the subjects of chemistry, mathematics, biology, and physics. I achieve this by using an interactive step by step approach to learning, working with the student, answering questions as we go along, rather than just lecturing. This interactive step by step approach works well for learning how to do calculations and understanding concepts.

...with what they are learning and gives them enough understanding to be able to "teach" the topic. As someone who recently graduated Arizona State University with a B.S. in Microbiology, I understand the hardships that many students must face in large classroom learning environments and so I can relate to younger or more mature adult students. I have much experience in working in a lab setting where application and science work in tandem so I...

...is fascinates me. But as I got my start in mathematics, I try to relate everything to teachable theories that breakdown into simple facts. My tutoring style is often based on this approach. Everything is related as long as you are able to make that connection. I like to take something that seems foreign and break it down into its basic concepts and relate that to something that is familiar. I have found that small...

I prepared the session plans and created new study materials for my students, which I then used to guide students in the study groups. My goal for each session was to get students collaborating in a focused manner, learning how to teach themselves and teach others based on the resources at hand. As these...

...Spanish grammar, comprehension, or speaking-ability I can use my own command of the language to get you to the next level. Last, but not least, Colorado College's unique course of study is what prepared me well to become a tutor.

...to me for a single session or we meet every week for a semester, I believe the first step to success with tutoring is to work together to set clear expectations. This lets us work toward the same goal, and makes it simple to set milestones to get there. Any problem area in any subject can be broken into smaller and smaller pieces, until suddenly you realize there was never a problem to begin with.

Now, I'm excited to share my love of science and learning through tutoring! I tutor Biology, Ecology, and standardized test prep. From high school to Stanford, I have learned that lectures are often difficult for students to follow. They can lose confidence in subjects because the information is not presented in a way...

...of my math teachers when they would teach in class. This inspired me to become a high school math teacher. The first step was becoming a peer tutoring my classmates. This lead to tutoring math to college students. Then tutoring students while working as a TA.

...restaurant in Chinatown. By doing so, I create an environment for students to practice as if using Chinese to communicate with native speakers. I also added cultural notes to every lesson so that students could gain a glimpse into Chinese culture. For instance, I taught students the proper amount of money to give in a red envelope and when it is appropriate to give red envelopes during a lesson on traditional Chinese festivals. My students...

...were struggling in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students...
