I'm astrobiologist and PhD student, with a deep love of teaching science. I have 4+ years of teaching environmental science and geology at the college level, and 2+ years of tutoring experience in astronomy. I also have considerable experience with Python, especially in terms of scientific applications and programming. (Ask me about network theory-based potential biosignatures for exoplanets!)

...I love solving problems, especially abstract ones requiring creativity and imagination. I think it is the challenge of pulling from all of your life experiences and knowledge to come up with a solution that works. I think the key for success is having enough patience to keep ones imagination at work long enough to come up with a solution. I believe every problem has a solution, sometimes many. 'It is often said that men are...

...undergraduate students. I typically teach SAT prep (including subject tests), ACT prep, chemistry (up to ochem), biology (up to cell/developmental), mathematics (up to college calculus), Spanish, English vocabulary, and writing (academic and creative). My personal teaching philosophy involves rigor and accountability, but I always make sure that my students feel comfortable with the pace of learning. I try to foster a culture of kindness and honesty during my sessions so that students don't feel like...

...questions and explore a vast array of content. In college I have tutored algebra, geometry, as well as trigonometry. I enjoy teaching mathematics since they tend to be logical and very straight forward. Something that one of my mentor teachers said sticks with me to this day: "They don't care how much you know, unless they know how much you care." Since, I have made it my personal goal to live by that statement. My...

...Chemistry teacher, I get a lot of different responses; "oh you must be smart". My favorite response is "No, I must be passionate". See I wasn't always the scientist nor thought I could. But I knew where I was, wasn't where I wanted to be and college is how I forged the path to my dreams. I'm here to enlighten and teach the missing pieces in your educational foundation to ease the acceleration over every...

...more mature adult students. I have much experience in working in a lab setting where application and science work in tandem so I realize the necessity in flexibility and the importance in explaining the exceptions to the rules that we learn in science. My studies have led me to pursue a career in dentistry and I will be beginning dental school at UCLA in the fall so I am also an ideal candidate for more...

...others who were less well versed in the topic. My tutoring style is based on my own educational experience. I draw on tips and tricks that teachers and professors of mine have used which really helped difficult concepts to "click" for me. Most of these techniques associate silly stories or acronyms with concepts, as psychological studies have shown that people are more likely to remember a concept if it is tied to something unusual and...

...subjects! I have been tutoring students of all ages for the past 20 years. I enjoy teaching any level of math, science, psychology, Spanish, and basic English! Apart from this, I love offering new techniques to students who want to ace their standardized tests (SAT, ACT, and MCAT) on their first attempt!

In my spare time, I spend as much time outside playing with my two children and tending...

...students took one course at a time, for one month only. This meant that the same group of about 15 students went to the same class everyday, making it very easy to form small study groups after class. Essentially, I spent four years tutoring (and receiving tutoring!) from my fellow classmates as we worked through class notes and problem sets. Bringing my experiences as both the tutor and tutee from these study sessions, I will...

...an English TA while studying Biology might seem somewhat odd to people, but besides being interested in the sciences I have a passion for writing. I've written three novels of carious genres (thriller, murder mystery, and horror) and hope to get them published someday.
