...more geared towards math and science subjects. I encourage my students to become comfortable using a variety of methods to solve problems. This decreases their chance of getting stuck on difficult problems. Helping my students make connections between similar problems and having a hallmark example for them to think back on is another way I train my students to tackle difficult problems. Outside of academia, I enjoy doing yoga, running, reading inspirational books, going to...

...art, and mythology. It's hard to choose a favorite subject to tutor. All of them have their "pros." My favorite thing about tutoring is helping my students learn and succeed. As a tutor, I use differentiation instruction. This means that I cater my tutoring lessons specifically to the learning style of my student. I don't expect each student to learn the same way, so I can't expect to teach them all the same way. A...

...to learn the material but also strategies for success on test day. My favorite part of teaching is seeing improvement in my students and I endeavor to keep tutoring sessions active and fun. Students learn best when they are engaged, and I strive to keep my students thinking and smiling for the entire lesson.

I value all subject matter, but I find mathematics and science to be the most powerful and exciting fields of study. Outside of academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy climbing mountains, racing cars, fencing, and playing guitar. I’ve competed on the television contest American...

I enjoy helping others. I am especially good at adjusting my lesson speed based on the student's level. I believe that learning should be FUN! Let's have a good time while learning together!... I feel that teachers need to be highly perceptive of the student's reactions while teaching. This means checking for understanding and never getting ahead of the student. An effective lesson is one that is geared toward each specific student in terms of their study goals, while also incorporating their hobbies and interests into the lesson. In such a sense, teaching methods need to be adjusted on-the-fly depending on the student. Another very important (and often overlooked) aspect of teaching is that it should be FUN for the student. I believe that people retain the most information when they are having fun. If someone can associate "fun" with learning, they will want to learn more and study harder!
