...the points he was trying to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook. I find that this technique works very well with math and physics, where understanding the theory is often the key to being able to see a problem and find the right path to...

...is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects.

I like helping students with homework, and talking realistically about education and careers.

Thanks to one-on-one help in middle and high school, I not only achieved stronger grades/test scores, but gained the confidence I will continue to use even beyond graduate school. I hope to give others the same invaluable tool set!... The ways I've always preferred to learn myself are typically the ways I teach. Once it seems like a student has a pretty strong understanding of a subject, I like to play competitive or timed games. It...

...am a firm believer in the notion that no one is a "non-math" person. When a student is given unique perspectives and is allowed to discover new concepts in an adaptable environment, mathematical ideas can really "sink" in. My personal style is to put less emphasis on rote and memorization (which can be overwhelming) while delving more into truly understanding what is being taught. This makes homework quicker and test time easier - especially for...
