...make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a...

...science and math subjects given my predilection for engineering. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for the Economics Department where I taught lower and upper division sections along with hosting individual office hours. Herein I learned that the best method to convey complex concepts is through customized practice problems that increase in difficulty and the number of interrelated topics they test. In addition to tutoring, I also volunteer at SundayFriends in San Jose...

I think the value in me as a tutor is teaching students how to solve problems on their own, instead of just relying on me to give them the answers. I can teach students the importance of not giving up, ease the pressure they get from academics, and help them to comprehend the learning material more easily. I am able to put myself in their shoes and...

...the right choice for me so I dabbled in a lot of Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy and Mathematics. Ultimately, Physics was the right choice for me. You can ask me anything about it, from basic stuff like quantum mechanics and relativity to cutting-edge research like string theory and condensed matter theory. Though I love what I do and wish I could spend all my time doing Physics, I eventually do take a break and relax. I...

...have worked in the education field for eleven years. For nine years, I worked at a public community charter school with non-profit status in Tucson, Arizona. I served as a lead teacher in grades PreK-3rd grade and directed the after-school program, which served students in grades K-9, for five years. This after-school program focused on providing tutoring for students of all ages. I also founded the Pre-K program at that school and served as its...

...knowledge from all the branches of science: Earth Science, Physics, Biology, and my favorite subject, Chemistry. As a graduate student, I have enjoyed being a teaching assistant and helping students learn to enjoy the college science classes that I enjoyed so much. My teaching philosophy focuses on the idea that different students learn different ways, and as a TA or a tutor, I strive to express different ways of thinking about problems. The teacher presents...
