...or a lesson gives a sense of satisfaction to not only the tutor but the person being tutored. Whenever learning a difficult concept, the first thing I usually do is look it up on Google.

Sometimes they can help,...

...Circuits and associated subjects. My main subject is Math. I have found that if I help people get a good foundation in math they are much better at it than they ever thought they were.

They don't judge and aren't...

...collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become...

However, I've tutored other classmates in German, Spanish, chemistry, and physics. In addition to college courses, I've worked with classmates and colleagues to improve their GRE and MCAT scores, with the most improvement seen in the Critical Reading sections....

I am looking to interact...

...of education should encourage one to seek answers, as it is in this way that the student will advance. My goal is to facilitate this advancement of knowledge with the main theme of my teaching philosophy being reasoned thought and repeatable habits. The goal is to encourage thinking in rational ways in the classroom, in groups and when distance learning outside the classroom. I emphasize to the student the need to inventory their resources with...

...with a BS in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry. In my final semester of college, I tutored chemistry online, and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had.

The purpose of teaching is not to pour information into the minds of students, but to invite and inspire the student to apply the knowledge to multiple situations and be inspired to seek further knowledge. I make a conscious effort to be friendly and connect...

...University of Michigan, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I had been a student my entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to...

...is incredible -- I love how numbers are meant to work out to a perfect answer and when students that I tutor "get it" I feel greatly rewarded. Writing is an excellent way of expressing ourselves and should never be intimidating or "scary". So, in those moments when students feel accomplished in writing, I feel like the world becomes a little bit better somehow. My approach to tutoring students is to make education less of...
