Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Nashville, TN

...of any society, as seen throughout history. My strengths lie in science and engineering, having an undergraduate background in both. I currently combine these fields in industrial design, where I am seeking a framework for customized design for the individual. In my free time, I travel and play with my dog, Sebastian. He is my world. I am an Atlanta native and lucky to have the majority of my family within driving distance.

...student is first and foremost to being an effective tutor. I have strong skills in assessing the student's needs and meeting them where they are at. While I am able to tutor in a wide range of subjects, my strength lies in test prep. I remember not too long ago the stresses and anxieties that came with testing and can relate and better understand how students think and how to improve their approaches. Every student...

...that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as...

...memorization does not promote a clear understanding of class material or strengthen critical thinking skills. I firmly believe knowing concepts allows students to expand their problem solving skills into unknown territory and allows them to better address unfamiliar questions and problem sets. I recognize that not all students learn best through the same teaching methods. I like to try multiple ways of teaching styles until I find something that works for the student. I will...

...worked with students in various subjects, including physics, college algebra, calculus, chemistry, and engineering-specific courses. I love to tutor mathematics and physics, for it is in these subjects that the foundation of engineering is built upon. I also enjoy teaching problem solving to students! I have a passion for helping others understand material that is difficult or foreign to them, and I work hard to try and make the time I have with students meaningful...

...throughout my academic career. It is natural for me to take complex methods and distill them into more easily understood discrete steps. The method that was taught at Tennessee State University's College of Engineering reinforces a structured approach to problem solving by having the student list the problem statement, identify the known and unknown quantities, list relevant theories/equations, and provide assumptions. I have always believed that getting the right answer is secondary to understanding the...

...A great teacher in high school sparked my interest to study chemistry. During college years studying chemistry, my awareness about the environment grew until I decided to continue my education in environmental engineering. Being in school for a long time, I had many teachers that taught me not only science and math but also how to live and be a better person. I have learned from my teachers that patience and persistent are keys to...

...(Brentwood High Tennis) and exercise in general, typically weightlifting. I can draw almost every character of Spongebob and wish I could tutor specifically in that. I have a passion for science and practically all branches of STEM fields, especially neuroscience and biology. As clich as it is, and as clich as saying "as clich as it is...", education is power and can transform every aspect of one's world. For that reason, I would love the...

...my 9 years of teaching Mathematics I was able to achieve this by provoking discussion, guiding students to solve problems on their own, and allowing students to find their way of navigating through different calculations. Giving students helpful feedback along their scores after an exercise helped build my students' confidence. I also believe that in addition to solving Math problems, students should be able to communicate and share Mathematics. This is achieved by presenting their...

...when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding...
