Everyone has their own strengths, and I believe tutoring is about building on those...

...graduated from Yale with a degree in American Studies, and took all sorts of fun and arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me. But I've found that having someone (i.e. a tutor) around can help with finding alternative ways of approaching a problem/reading a sentence. I currently write music for movies and TV shows, so...

...one. I aim for a tutoring environment which generates discussion, and proposes solutions, in which students think critically about the content at hand, ask their own questions, and exercise ways to find their own answers. Learning in this manner allows students to better face future challenges, and think critically about topics in and out of academia. I look forward to working with you and helping you better yourself, whether that be in a class or...

I love helping people and enjoy assisting those in learning. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge and watching the look on someones face as they understand something they didn't before.... My teaching philosophy is to compare the topic at hand to something that is interesting to the student. If you can make it more fun or interesting to them, it will be easier to understand. They might even enjoy it!... I would assess how to...
