...gone on to learn the material much better. When I work with students I like to help them figure out how to do a problem themselves. My style is to not just work through problems for them but instead help them figure out how they can do these problems with all of the knowledge they all ready have but used in a slightly different way. I look forward to helping students succeed in their classes...

...students with learning challenges. I personally struggle with Dyslexia and ADHD, so I can share tools and methods that worked well for me when learning content in school. I firmly believe that every student can succeed in a subject if they invest enough time into learning it and if the concepts are explained to them well. When I am working with a new student I try to figure out what kinds of explanations reach them...

...the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential and taking shortcuts doesn't always work. As someone who just returned to Seattle, I enjoy exploring new aspects of the city. This brings me into a...

...and math. I am currently taking a class at the University of Washington, Bothell for fun, it's called 'Abstract Algebra'. I fell in love with math early when I realized it was just one idea that was built on another. I then took physics in my senior year of college and fell in love with that as well. In my opinion, physics is so fascinating because of it's predictable nature. It let's physicists predict the...

...skills in reading, writing, and math. I guide students to look at their work and to break the task apart to do the work step by step. In that way, they can learn how to do that on their own when faced with new material, and to be confident that they are improving their own skills as they continue. I also suggest ways to put what they have learned in a way they can then...
