In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test...

...many students find infectious. I am a firm believer in taking a more hands-off approach to teaching, namely by letting my students work their way through problem areas with ample guidance. The quickest way to learn is by doing, and if I am solving a problem for a student, then they are not absorbing that information as well as they could be if they were actively pursuing a solution themselves. This is a strategy that...

...often be hesitant to admit they are unsure of concepts that were taught in previous years because they feel they are expected to know them. However, without a proper understanding of the simple facets of a subject, the more complicated features can never be truly internalized.

Above all, I loved helping others achieve the same goal by teaching, and I would like to continue helping students overcome their weak subjects and also master the subjects they are already comfortable learning.
