...what we learn is being applied to our everyday life. My understanding is that knowing the practicality of the information proves its importance to the students and makes them crave more. Furthermore, by asking simple analytical questions about the discussed topic I try to keep our session like a game; where my students act like young researchers coming up with their own analytic conclusions. Knowledge, enthusiasm, care, and patience are the important elements of tutoring,...

...draws on concepts from several other branches of science. I have prior experience tutoring students in upper division biochemistry courses during my senior year at UC Riverside, an activity which I greatly enjoyed. Additionally, I am very passionate about science in general, and that passion is demonstrated through my teaching. Furthermore, I understand that the sciences can be very challenging. Thus, my main mission is to help students gain confidence to tackle the material effectively....

...a lot of experience tutoring chemistry and physics at high school and college level and also in math from pre-algebra to calculus II. However, I believe learning is about far more than memorizing facts that are quickly discarded after the exam; rather, in my own studies as well as in teaching others I believe that is far more effective to truly comprehend the underlying principle and to always ask why, not just what. When I’m...

...tests has only refined my understanding of what students need and have the most trouble with. Although I enjoy and have experience teaching a vast array of subjects (especially during my time at a graduation lab at Irving High School), I am especially drawn to the sciences, math and English. The love for the former two stems from years of education and interest in the sciences, and the latter harks even further back to my...

...teaching is to first understand how the student learns so that I can help them develop effective study and homework strategies. Every person learns a little differently, and I believe that finding the method that works best for each individual is not only the best way to learn, but also the most fun way. I also believe in building my students' confidence in themselves and their own abilities and knowledge. One of the key ingredients...

...and have some fun while doing so. One of my favorite subjects to teach is Organic Chemistry. In my opinion, Organic Chemistry has a bad reputation and stigma in popular culture (e.g. Good Will Hunting: "No one studies Organic Chemistry for fun"). While in many ways it is challenging, if you put in the work it is one of the most exciting and fascinating subjects, especially if you are interested in medicine.

...knows and most importantly, where there are gaps in the student’s knowledge base. Once we accomplish this, it’s a simple matter of figuring out the best teaching method and angle to help the student fill in those gaps. Further, I firmly believe in helping my students develop into independent learners, equipping them with the proper learning skills to eventually be able to evaluate, deconstruct, and solve challenging problems independently. For leisure, I enjoy hiking, camping,...

...in both chemistry and ESL for placement into a public high school. My teaching philosophy is simply centered on active engagement with my students and helping them to relate real-life applications with the concepts that they learn on a standard 2D textbook. Without being able to connect to situations that students can relate to, I believe that learning content becomes difficult. Bridging that divide is a strong personal ability of mine. In terms of my...

...and middle school students in a number of areas, including preparation for exams like the SAT. I especially enjoy tutoring in Biology because I love watching my students get excited about what they are learning and how it relates to different everyday experiences. For that reason, my teaching style focuses on helping students gain not only mastery of the material but also an enthusiasm for the subject that makes studying easier. Outside of tutoring, I...
