...college level physics, mathematics, and engineering courses. I am going into my senior year of engineering coursework, and have done several directed research projects of my own, particularly focusing on aeronautical engineering research. The project that I am leading involves conceptually designing and physically manufacturing models of idealized airfoils to test in aerodynamic efficiency (computational fluid dynamics) programs I have written in MATLAB. When leading a tutoring session, I like to go through problems methodically,...

I am currently working towards my bachelors in materials science and engineering from the University of Washington @ Seattle. During my time at university I've been a mentee several times, and now that I'm in my final year and have seen the benefits of mentorship, I am happy to begin mentoring others. This desire to support students extends towards tutoring where I am comfortable to tutor math and science of various levels.

...school math teacher. My strongest subjects are algebra and calculus. I enjoy helping people learn and grow, and over my time teaching I found I got the most enjoyment (and was also the most effective) in smaller group and one-on-one sessions. I try to teach through Socratic questioning and encouraging autonomy in my students, as independence is a crucial step to true understanding of subject material. I also try to teach concepts rather than questions,...

...certain classes, I understand the frustration that can come with grades that do not reflect your effort. Therefore, I am very empathetic, patient, and understanding. My tutoring style requires that students aren't simply looking for the easy way out; be willing to put in the hard work and dedication and you'll be surprised what you can accomplish! That being said, my favorite moments are when students feel that they cannot solve a problem, and upon...

...or small-group tutoring. In addition to enjoying tutoring, I also enjoy seeing my students succeed. In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers set enough time aside to discuss the material and to further student interest through math's wide-reaching applications. This...

...middle school students on individualized education plans. I developed a passion for science and mathematics while at college. One instructor in particular fostered this passion by setting high expectations, providing every tool necessary for us to succeed, and sharing his own enthusiasm for the subject. I like to emulate this strategy with my own students leaving them excited and empowered to achieve their goals. I specifically enjoy teaching Mathematics because it leaves students with a...

...through Algebra 2 about 4 years ago and found I really enjoyed helping clarify sticking points for students. Everyone needs a little one-on-one boost at times to get them over a hurdle, and too often that hurdle can discourage students from pursuing their dreams. My true passion is tutoring Algebra because I believe it is so foundational in Math coursework and too many students just "get through" and struggle in the next class. With the...
