...is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking...

...always done well in Language Arts and would welcome the opportunity to tutor a student in English, Reading, Vocabulary, or Writing. I understand everyone learns differently; what works for one student doesn't necessarily work for another, and it is important to be aware that each encounter requires a unique approach.

...I enjoy statistics the most though, both tutoring and learning, because of how applicable to the world it is in almost every field. When tutoring I try to focus on how to learn. This means not only how to learn the material but which methods of learning work best for the individual student. As a result, the student will become a stronger, more independent learner. If a person learns how they learn, I believe, they...

...University(WWU), and during high school, I did the running start program for my last two years meaning I went to community college instead of high school classes. I didn't take the SAT or ACT, rather, I transferred as a college student after high school. I think the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong ambition and something beneficial to everybody. That being said I also strongly believe that going to a 4-year college right after high...

...individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in college from a professor who had perfected the technique. The majority of his class-time revolved around asking us questions that led us to the points he was trying to make.

...Carolina, Chapel Hill where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Womens & Gender Studies. Having been a science nerd throughout high school, I knew that I would want to study biochemistry at university, but I also wanted to strengthen my writing, analytical, and research abilities in a non-scientific context.
