I am a future medical student and recent engineering graduate, and I look forward to working with students in math and science.... During a first session, I would talk with the student about their academic goals, and also discuss learning strategies that have worked well for them in the past.... I like to focus on big picture objectives. I believe it is more important to understand the foundations of a process and the overarching idea, rather...

...the University of California, Davis. I believe the most important quality in a tutor is patience. Everyone is capable of being great at math, but math is a very difficult and abstract topic, and the only sure path to success is through continuous effort. A tutor must have the patience to move through the subject at the student's own pace. Mathematics is important not just because of its endless application and its role as the...

...engineering program on a full scholarship, I didn't always like math and science. It can take a lot of effort to "click" with these kinds of subjects, but once you do, it's a surprisingly rewarding experience. (Yes, I am a huge nerd now. See photo.) You just need to break down the problems, recognize patterns, and apply the concepts. So if you're just required to take a math course and you're sick of having a...

...I've learned is that teaching is hard to do. Every student learns differently and for those of us who can't instantly understand advanced concepts and apply them in the real world often feel frustrated and left behind. In a way I still am one of the those students but I've found through hard work and some clever strategies that it is possible for anyone to be a successful student and a lifelong learner. I have...

...California, San Diego. I received my my Bachelor of Arts in General Physics, focusing on Astrophysics, and minored in Management Science. I have tutored extensively before, tutoring local high school students, and becoming a lifetime member of the California Scholarship Federation in the process. Although I have tutored a variety of subjects, from Japanese to European History, I am most comfortable with Math and the Sciences. Although not particularly applicable to tutoring, I also have...

...have plenty of experience working with children between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course...

In my college experience, I have experienced failure and was once at a point where passing classes was a struggle. However, over the past 4 years, I have gotten nearly a 4.0 in my classes. I had to teach myself to be a good student because it wasn't always easy for me. The lessons I learned and experiences I've had helped...
