...grow from science introverts to build a national award-winning science project. I am torn between Math and Chemistry as my favorite subjects. Chemistry embodies science and I love helping students appreciate its principles and the simplify its seemingly turmoil. In Mathematics, my own educational and teaching experience have afforded many concrete examples which I use to depict its abstractness. Science and technology are the basis for industry off which everything else spins, and I am...

...of lessons allowed me to break down complicated concepts to simple examples that my young students could grasp, which was rewarding for all three of us: me, my students and the school. From April, 1993 to March, 1994, I taught English and Algebra to high school students (Grade 9th and 10th). Managing the different abilities among my students proved a difficult, but gratifying, challenge. I tailored activities to maintain the interest of high-level students without...

Because of my passion for literature and science I have much experience in the humanities with writing and critical reading but also since I have taken and scored well on the MCAT I have a strong grasp of the material in the science subjects.

...easily. Strangely, I have found that some of the strategies I use in tutoring math can also be used effectively in tutoring other subjects; for example, I always ask the student what they???re working on in class at the moment and I ask them to explain it to me. I then react according to what their response is, personalizing the session for each student. This is also a way for me to know exactly where...
