...in mathematics. Students need a teacher who can explain complex math skills in a way that is easy and relates to them in order to help them become successful.

...are loved, show them they are loved, and they will grow with a sense of purpose. Each child has different strengths, different gifts, and different needs. It's my duty to bring them out by supporting them with the tools to make it happen. Just like no two brains are alike, we must know it takes different strategies and techniques to reach children. As educators, we must be willing to put in the necessary work to...

...things to study so I am open to a lot of options. If I had to pick a favorite class overall I would lean towards pre-calc and algebra.

I believe in developing each student's unique learning style and incorporating real-world examples to help students understand the application of math and science in the real world.

...even at the collegiate level. I think that everyone can enjoy Math and Science as long as the correct approach is used. The good thing about these subjects is that there is definitely one correct answer, but the approach can vary from one student to the next. I employ a more laid-back style of tutoring where students can make mistakes and learn from them. In my opinion, this is the best way to learn and...

...into the larger picture so everything you learn is connected, easily understood, and easily remembered. Most of my students have really appreciated this method, but I dynamically adapt to whatever works best for the student! I am currently a Research Assistant studying HIV in a Neuroscience department.

...was sitting in my local library, studying, and I overheard an elderly teacher mocking and ridiculing her pupil for getting something wrong - that was the only catalyst I needed. The quality I am most proud of in myself is my compassion, and as a teacher I believe that compassion and patience always come first. There is never room at the table for cruelty. Together, let's learn to learn, let's enjoy getting things wrong, let's...

I believe in connecting classroom or theoretical finance concepts and real world applications.

Outside of academia, I love reading ( fiction and non-fiction), taking long walks to nowhere(the best way to think!) and working out.

When I am not consumed in school...

...school Science, Writing, and Math classes. My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to simplify abstract concepts using analogies and real-life comparisons so that anybody can learn them. Showing students how their studies relate to the rest of the world is the best way to create long term interest and understanding. My main focus is typically "teaching toward the test," as making sure my students get the grades they need is always the...
