It's about the love of art, then the skills will get there....

...my study, I understand the value of education in different aspects and cultures. From my experience, also as a business owner who coach younger ones, I was able to boil down what is the utmost important in teaching/learning process. I believe "to learn" is an active verb, which must comes willingly from the learners. That means a teacher's job is not only to help the learners understand the material, but also to create trust and...

...prospective medical student, I know what it is like to sometimes not fully understand a concept or subject. As a student who at first struggled to learn some of the toughest material, I learned from mistakes and shortcomings how to effectively learn and understand any concept.

Thanks to UHS, I am entering college with a number of credits thanks to their rigorous AP courses, and I couldnt be more excited or prepared. As a tutor, I believe in finding what works best for students. Most teachers do not have the opportunity to teach 100 different ways to 100 different students. However, when students have...

...levels, I encourage both the hesitant and eager students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They just had to get over fears and mental blocks....

...question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and repeating steps to synthesize the learning process after a problem has been solved. Outside of education, I'm a big fan of music and live concerts (I produce and perform live electronic music as a glorified hobby), Seattle culture, and cats.
