I believe it is most important for students to understand the concepts, rather than memorize specific formulas, reactions, or mechanisms. By learning the concepts, you can apply the concepts to problems to more challenging problems. I hope to get the chance to...

...a lot of experience tutoring various math and physics classes. When I work with my students, I focus on the logical steps to understanding the material.

...help students succeed. My favorite part of teaching is making direct connections with students, understanding their strengths and struggles, and helping them move through difficulty to experience success.

...My favorite subject to tutor in is math. While math is often seen as intimidating, I like making it fun and engaging. I think it's important to see math as a skill that can be learned, like reading, rather than a talent you are born with or without. My tutoring style is hands-on. I believe...

...see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math or science is all about that one moment where everything "clicks" into place, and when it happens, you notice. That feeling is what...
