I tend to teach through examples, but I also pay attention to how a student learns best and try to adapt...

...but I am most passionate about teaching all levels of math, physics, and chemistry. I am a very curious and passionate learner, and I am eager to foster that same drive in students. I approach teaching by answering questions and explaining concepts but encouraging the student to put those concepts into practice themselves. Instead of simply showing students how to do a problem, I always try to explain the why behind the concept as well.

I have been working with students of all ages since 2002. My task is to understand your process and make you successful using your process. I feel like I've succeeded when you can say "Is that all there is to that?" or "This was easy."

...one to share in that satisfaction of the successes of the student. My part-time tutoring in college helped me realize this, and has inspired me to pursue a career helping others on their journey to knowledge. I will do everything I can to help my students achieve success. I am confident in my knowledge, my skills, and my ability to impart that knowledge to others. Perhaps more importantly, I am never ashamed to admit the...

...to go through problems methodically, and break them down into their simplest components and concepts before explaining the full solution. I find that this way, complex concepts in calculus and physics become easier to remember, when they are grounded in simple principles. I love to draw attention to the way that complex subjects such as physics and calculus are ultimately reducible into simple and elegant equations, methods, and concepts. Aside from studying engineering and music,...

...ages 12-23. Each of them have had their unique struggles with learning. Over the years, my experience with helping them overcome learning differences, ADHD, high-functioning autism, sensory disorders, etc. has helped me be a more skilled teacher and tutor. I understand the struggles of the student who has to spend inordinate amounts of time studying when others whip through their assignments with ease. Every student has a different learning style. Some need visual and auditory...

...a wide range of tutoring experiences in many subjects, but my strengths lie in mathematics, science, and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all...

...the hard sciences. The hard data and empirical knowledge of chemistry and biology were a definite change from the political theory I studied at Whitman. At Montana State University, where I took my prerequisites, I served as a peer instructor for physics classes. Just as I did at the writing center, I tried to get students to see the fun in physics, making their studies less of a chore and more of an inquisitive process....

...in the early 1900s-- predict where our spaceship will land if we fire the rocket at this or that angle, or predict if and how it is possible to produce clean, near limitless energy in the form of cold fusion. It also, by its nature, seeks to explain the different phenomena and mysteries that the world contains. Quantum physics explained why the periodic table of elements was periodic, one of the biggest mysteries for chemists...

...applying mathematical methods to the real world, in particular through the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving...

...I love learning and creating meaningful learning experiences for other students. Tutoring STEM topics in particular is a very rewarding and enriching endeavor. I generally take a socratic approach in my tutoring style that focuses on critical thinking, and guides students to discover answers and make breakthroughs for themselves. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, hanging out with my dog, playing ice hockey, reading, and deploying my engineering skills to design and build interesting projects.

...and Calculus. Moreover, I am a skilled writer and I read voraciously. I have always done well in Language Arts and would welcome the opportunity to tutor a student in English, Reading, Vocabulary, or Writing. I understand everyone learns differently; what works for one student doesn't necessarily work for another, and it is important to be aware that each encounter requires a unique approach. I believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, and through...

I have recently obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Petroleum Engineering. My skills are strongest in math and science. My philosophy is that kids are willing to learn and want to learn. They need someone there who can support them in the path there. ... I believe that applying concepts to actual problems is very effective. Being able to have a hands-on experience is vital.... I would seek to see specifically what problems they are having...

...abstract concepts click for students. Having recently navigated these courses myself, I understand exactly which concepts tend to confuse and have developed strategies to overcome these common stumbling blocks. My tutoring approach is built on the understanding that every student learns differently. I believe in creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and mistakes are considered valuable learning opportunities. Rather than simply providing answers, I focus on building strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills...

...It takes more than just getting good grades in order to maximize the students' potentials although grades and standardized test scores are the top two important factors that most of top ranking schools are looking for from the students. Therefore, my priority of helping student is always ensuring that the students understand what they are learning first so they can do well in class and perform well in standardized tests. In additional to this priority,...

...trainer. Despite my choice of studies, I have often been frustrated with own my math and science class experiences, and how often I see one bad class/teacher/experience ruin a student's self-confidence or passion. I have the most experience in math and science, but I can also help out with English, introductory Spanish, or test prep. Outside of work, I play ice hockey, volunteer for Seattle's Youth Tutoring Program, read, and occasionally hike/bike/run.

...I truly enjoy helping people figure out difficult concepts or getting that lightbulb moment. I think the best way to learn is to find ways that the concept relates to you or can visualize. Mistakes are always part of the ;earning process are opportunities to grow from and never be scared of. Since I have also taken MCAT it is something that I can confidently help others succeed on. In my free time I love...
