...real world examples. I believe the key to tutoring physics and math is not rote memorization but ensuring the student understands and identifies fundamental principles behind each problem. I will first work with each student on simple problems to develop familiarity and intuition. Then, we will approach more complex problems which tie several concepts together. Students will learn to approach complex problems by breaking them down into principles they are familiar with. I believe education...

I focus on breaking down complex problems and explaining them step-by-step so that every student can master mathematical concepts.

...style. I find that students are able to easily relate to me, because of my age and approachability. It was, after all, not that long ago that I was exactly in their shoes. Last summer, I also served as a college admissions guidance counselor and essay revisionist. I attended USC on a full academic merit scholarship, and had the exclusive privilege to serve on the interview admissions panel for incoming high-performing scholarship candidates. Over the...

...the challenges and joys that come with each of these groups. My teaching style adapts for each student, but as a default I'm big on using visuals and having hands-on experience.

...in Math is applied in our daily life but we are unaware of it because we do not pay attention to it but that does not mean it does not exist. After most sessions, I assign few problems for the student to work on them at home before our next sessions (these assignments could be chosen from the textbook or I could formulate them myself). This method affirms student understanding of the subjects covered. Guarantees:...
