...life applications of Mathematics. As a tutor, it is my goal to keep students engaged in learning.

...wasn't studying right. I quote my music teacher, who said, "Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent." Thus, I think one of the main things I'd like for students to get used to is structure on top of learning the concepts. My objective is to help students succeed on their own without my help.... My teaching philosophy is to work from small to big. I tend to break things down the fine details (the fundamentals), such as word definitions when learning the sciences or some expected responses in learning a language. I find that many misunderstandings come from differences in understanding these fine details. Eventually, I try to synthesize these fine details into a bigger picture. Basically, you have all these fine details as dots (word definitions, e.g. the definition of "element," or "cell".) This process of synthesis involves connecting all these dots to make them all as I just mentioned - connected. This level of understanding is what I strive to promote and build among not just students I tutor, but among colleagues and friends alike.
