...objective when guiding students, whether their goal is to determine a fitting career path, ace an in-class exam, or prepare for a grueling standardized test, is to instill self-confidence in them. I try to not only help them develop lifelong critical-thinking skills, but also urge them to assertively believe in their personal abilities. If students dedicate themselves fully to the task at hand and have the genuine desire to succeed, then I think they can...

...from the University of Georgia with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish. During my junior year, I spent the fall through summer semesters helping instruct general chemistry classes and organic chemistry labs.

...help every student master their subject matter in the quickest / most efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power of determination and a hard work ethic. Failure is not permanent but merely...

In my free time, I volunteer at local school systems, play intramural soccer, practice the ukulele, and participate in...

I have truly enjoyed studying the sciences in my college years, and since then have enjoyed even more so to tutor the scientific concepts to others!... Teaching is gauged by the comprehension of the student. If one knows something well, they can help another understand it in terms beneficial for the learner!... I like to get an idea of the student's comfort level with the material, and whether or not the student recognizes exactly which hurdles...

...favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I find it to be very applicable in life. I believe that learning shouldn't have to be hard and that we should appeal to all of our senses when learning.

Otherwise, I like to stay fit...
