...science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Biochemistry). I really enjoy tutoring math and English! Math always has an answer to work towards and can be taught using various mediums. English is also a favorite subject of mine as I love to read and write and love reading the works of others. I like to tutor subjects by working through problems with students and practicing problems. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking and have almost finished half...

...high school" or "you have to be a genius to study physics", the latter of which is certainly not true (trust me). I think, when done properly, teaching physics to students for the first time can be unbelievably rewarding. I love giving students a better understanding of the world around them, and helping them to appreciate all the science behind the technologies they use daily. I have also helped my students in the past with...

...to my focus on mathematics, my favorite subjects to tutor are within these fields as well: while any opportunity to explain new mathematical concepts to students is a great joy to me, I find that the breakthroughs students experience in calculus and basic algebra (Algebra I or Algebra II) are the most exciting, and those subjects are correspondingly my favorite to tutor. When I'm not tutoring or studying, I'm pretty reliably involved in some way...

...what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working with students to help them learn and meet their college goals.

...because for me, there is nothing better than being interested in learning. To be able to encourage another person's education experience is an amazing thing, and the happiness a student feels when he or she has their "lightbulb moment" is profound.

I am passionate about helping others gain the skills, confidence, and understanding to achieve academic success. ... In...

...that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor a student, my first goal is to figure out the best way to teach this individual, as no single style can suit everybody. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching football and soccer, exercising, and reading...

By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities...

...was kindled by upperclassmen and teacher assistants that helped me when I was in introductory courses.

...been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to one another. More personally, my hobbies include tennis, movies, and travel. I also love trivia and 90's music.
