...recently out of school gives me an advantage in helping students. I intimately remember the struggles of trying to learn material that just wouldn't click in my head. Given that, I like to go about tutoring from that place of understanding. I believe that just because the material doesn't get through to a student, that doesn't mean it's unable to be learned. I'm excited to find new, creative ways to help in the education process.

...only have I taught students in both traditional and non-traditional settings, but I have also become skilled at creatively adapting lessons to an incredibly diverse array of audiences.

Needless to say, I needed to find a balance between work and play!...

...But, my favorite subject to tutor is biology, or anything science related. My philosophy, particularly for subjects relating to science, is that if someone can fully explain the concept in words, without looking at notes, then they can do good on any examination testing the understanding of that concept. Based on this philosophy, I think that the best way to teach is to create a more interactive form of learning, where both tutor and student...
