...education through high school. When I entered college, I had earned enough credits (English, Biology, Calculus) to be a sophomore, technically. I used the openings that created to explore some unusual subjects: golf, martial arts, and living in Mexico for a semester.

...and college. It felt like nothing discussed while in the classroom stuck with me, and it was almost pointless for me to be there. You are not alone! And, this also isn't a reflection on your ability to ever learn these subjects! You just need to approach the problems differently, and spend a bit more time practicing them. Despite believing myself to be a total right-brained individual, I got B.S. degrees in both physics and...

...school was easy for me, but I really struggled my first semester of college. I'm a great tutor because I had to teach myself how to properly study. I'm not a gifted genius.

My expertise is in preparing students for the LSAT, and the ACT Reading Comprehension and English sections....

I keep my tutoring schedule fairly flexible and I...

...of these fields. For my MS, I worked with transgenic mice to develop a new, breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). As mice do not acquire AD as humans do, transgenic mice are used. This means that a gene known to cause AD has been isolated from humans and spliced into the mouse model. In using this genomic technology, we are able to test treatments and further understand the disease. My research was based around...

...at different speeds, and can easily adapt to their different needs. First, I generally like to review and explain the specific topic the students is having trouble with. Second, after the student seems to have grasped the content, I usually create sample problems and make the student answer them and walk me through the explanations. I understand that not all students will know exactly what they need help with either, so in those cases, I...

...complex assignments has consistently been a strength throughout my career in business. Some of this has been through teaching and leading by example and helping students follow a proscribed process based on the results of individual steps. Other times the nature of the work has required working directly with students in an environment where we both learn and then collaborate for a successful outcome. Learning can be complex but I think that in general, it...

...the usefulness of concepts and principals, so they can correlate it with their previous knowledge. Most of the students start a class very motivated and easily memorize ideas for a short time, but by next semester they have forgotten everything they learned. That is what I really would like to overcome, so I think students need to get very solid ideas which help them remember these concepts for the long term. I believe every student...
