...pursued a Fulbright Scholarship, and I spent the 2012-2013 academic year in Germany teaching English to middle and high school students in Dresden.

...Biology, Psychology, Statistics, French, Russian, English Language and Literature, and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE). My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields. My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves,...

...insurmountable. While that reputation is not unwarranted, I can also assure students that most concepts don't require a doctorate degree to understand - it's a matter of understanding the underlying principles and reasons. Science is only as simple and as complicated as we want it to be in any given situation. With that, I sincerely hope to help any future contributors get a good start on their ambitions, no matter who that might be.

Hi there! My name is Sean and I like language!!! I think learning languages and meeting new people is the most fun you can have without getting in trouble. I've been in the National Guard for the better part of the last decade (9 and 1/2 years) and I'm a proud American. If you want to learn a foreign language or brush up on your arts and humanities, I'm your guy.... Slow and steady wins the race. Patience is the most important part of any endeavor.

...seeing how certain factors increase or decrease our risk for disease. But you can use statistics for more things that are more fun - like making models for fantasy football or baseball. My teaching philosophy is "Keep it simple". I avoid using complex or unnecessary jargon at all costs. If I can't clearly explain a complex topic to someone on the street, then I am not communicating correctly. Oftentimes when teaching math, it helps to...
