...(as well as math and language arts) learning objectives. I am a published author and a working editor, writing works for our own UA literary magazine Persona as well as devoting my time to freelance tutoring and editing for multiple students in the UA Writing Program. I am also currently participating in an internship as a technical writer and educator at CCLAC, Inc.' an NPO involved in formulating curricula for digital literacy components of the...

...and Engineering. I understand the difficulty that students face when learning a new subject. I believe that finding a way to relate to the subject that you're trying to learn, increases your ability to absorb new information. I want to pass along the "tricks of the trade," that I have learned over the years, to help other students succeed. Learning a new subject should be exciting and empowering. Developing skills to tackle any problem you...

...to play the drum set. Most recently in my professional career I found myself lecturing to fellow engineers on the properties of shape memory alloys (never did I imagine myself doing that!). Despite the large array of subject matter, there is one common thread I have noticed through all of it: getting new concepts to 'click' and 'stick' is extremely satisfying. Some of my best experiences have been working one on one with my fellow...

...subjects to tutor are Algebra, Algebra II, and Chemistry, but I also really enjoy tutoring Physics and Geometry. My approach to tutoring is to pinpoint why a student is struggling and to work through difficulties with clear and novel explanations as well as targeted practice. I believe that helping a student master the material is key towards gaining the needed confidence. Outside of school and work, I enjoy getting outdoors, whether it is on a...

...Quito, Ecuador. I spent two months teaching Math, Science, and English to both students and adults in addition to helping with the community soccer team and working in the church. I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Arizona. Although I enjoy tutoring in a number of different subjects, I have a strong passion for Math, Chemistry and, to a lesser extent, Physics. I have experience tutoring...

...level for over 14 years. I am passionate about the "shared learning" of science and knowledge in general. I call it that because I'm just as much a student as ever. I've just been at it so long that I can now teach it. There's always something new to be learned, even in the old formulas, when we co-discover ways of explaining these ideas in new contexts. I look forward to acknowledging and helping you...

...middle and high school students hands on, experiential marine science lessons. I went to high school here in Tucson at Catalina Foothills and I studied abroad in Vancouver Island, Canada for two years, completing the I.B. diploma. My philosophy of education is focused on sharing my own passion for a subject and developing a similar appreciation in the students that I work with. I believe that this passion is essential for effective learning to happen,...

...have designed and taught many advanced undergraduate courses at the University of Arizona from the ground up, but my teaching abilities are strong in a one-on-one setting. Primarily that's because I really like people. A lot. I see things from the student's point of view, and that helps me to tutor in a way that is individualized for each student. As a high school and middle school substitute teacher and as an instructor at the...

As you think, so shall you become.... To ensure deep understanding of content in my students.... Get to know a student and understand them, so I can cater the material they struggle with to them.... Encourage the student to solve additional problems applying what they have learned.... Try and relate the topic to something they already understand.... Ask a different question that uses the same thought process or technique to solve, and have the student solve on their own.

...As a graduate student teaching assistant, I have worked extensively in the classroom. My experience ranges from delivering lectures and helping students understand important scientific concepts to working with students on a one-on-one basis. Many of the students I have worked with are non-science majors and finding a way to explain difficult scientific concepts to individual students is something I find rewarding. I have helped students who were anxious about scientific concepts and mathematics become...
