...and General Chemistry. The main reason for this is my love and knack for mathematics and logic but of course there are other factors such as my work and hobby. While a student at UCR, I worked as a Supplemental Instructor on the UCR campus. For 5 quarters, I instructed General Chemistry and for 3 years, I instructed Physics. I have also worked as a tutor for a private educational company where I tutored students...

...Irvine. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am currently applying to medical school, with plans to begin in Fall 2017. Although I tutor a myriad of math and life science subjects, biology and biochemistry are my favorite. This is probably because those are the subjects I'm most experienced in and passionate about. I am aware that many students struggle in the sciences, but I know how exciting it can...

...the students realize the importance of understanding the concepts in order to answer any problem. Also, it is always fun to be able to reach the correct answer after a few lines of work! In order to teach the concepts, I believe in teaching to simplify the idea. In this manner, the student is able to rationalize the theory on their own, allowing them to apply it in any manner. In addition to teaching them...

...possible. I also offer a different explanation on concepts for students who do not understand the way a teacher or professor might explain it. Also, I focus on understanding the reasoning behind concepts, rather than just memorizing how to do each specific problem. Along with focusing on chemistry, I also try to instill different and effective studying strategies to help students study in the most progressive way possible. Not only do I want to be...

...backgrounds which have helped me develop into an intuitive, innovative, and flexible tutor. I believe that each student learns differently, and it is important to identify what works best for each individual.

This helps both the student and the teacher to move forward with the process in a much smoother and...

...teaching philosophy and pedagogical choices have always included study skills and test-taking strategies, which sometimes elude students who initially struggle in school. Last summer, I taught an SAT prep course through the program CollegeSpring. I myself benefited from an SAT tutor in 2003, raising my own score by 100 points so that I could be accepted to rigorous colleges like Williams. I would love to give back by helping students accomplish their goals through individual...

I have a thirst for knowledge that I would like to share with others. Teaching and helping others is one of my passions. I like to use my knowledge and skills to assist those in their area of struggle. ... Teach them at a level that they confidently feel they could teach it to someone else.... I would first determine what the student needs help with, and then figure out the best way to help the student.

...understand how to tackle concepts from multiple avenues (i.e. visual, kinesthetic, aural) in order to truly understand what they're learning. I like to often take a step back and focus on the big picture so that the specific topics discussed can be seen as part of a whole rather than as independent pieces of an unsolved puzzle. Outside of tutoring, I like to fill my time by playing sports, following the NBA, watching Netflix, and...

...of now, I am working toward a teaching credential 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...
