...of Undergraduate Research. My honors curricula focused extensively on oral and written communication in addition to community outreach. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I was directly involved in one-on-one learning sessions, lecturing, and classroom management.

...Oftentimes biology concepts appear intimidating and unnecessarily complex. My goal as a tutor is to simplify these concepts - breaking them down into straightforward parts that can then be reassembled into a logical bigger picture.

The exchange of information and education is a passion for me! Creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere will allow learning to be enjoyable and memorable for all parties involved!... Keep it entertaining! I love using innovative and contemplative approaches to teaching; learning should be permanent and fun!... Breaking the ice and laughing is always a good idea for a first lesson! Introductions and getting to know someone is exciting, and I would have a few questions, as well as have information about myself to share with the student before jumping right into the task at hand. Certainly, we will get to know each other more as time went on, but fun first impressions are great!

Finally, I check learning progress by having the student teach the subject back to me.

...Anatomy and Physiology, math uses a lot of logic, which allows you to understand and learn concepts that will stick with you rather than learning them for a test and then discarding this information. I would like to describe my teaching philosophy as a means of challenging students. It is essential to initially evaluate what information the student knows and what they are struggling with. This enables me to encourage the student and compliment them...
