...most passionate about the sciences, specifically biology and chemistry. The sciences are my favorite to teach because even after learning some of the most basic information, some of the most exciting current events in science can be understood as well. I believe that if a subject is relevant and interesting to a student, they will be more eager and excited to learn. While a student, I learned through peer study groups that the act of...

...chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and high school chemistry. I absolutely love teaching students. I most enjoyed when students understood the concepts and could apply them to new problems.

By learning the concepts, you can apply the concepts to problems to more challenging problems. I hope to get the chance to work with you.

...who were engaging and made me excited about the material. Those two attributes are something I strive for while tutoring. Attending college has allowed me to gain a lot of experience tutoring various math and physics classes. When I work with my students, I focus on the logical steps to understanding the material. Then applying that knowledge to problem solving techniques. In math I tutor classes ranging from Pre-Algebra through Differential Equations. In Physics, I...

...school applications--hopefully within in the next couple years!:) In contrary to popular beliefs about bio majors, my most effective study technique is to avoid memorization whenever I can.

...or camping in the mountains with my puppy, Skiing in winter and playing Nintendo on those slow rainy days. Math is tough... we all understand that. But the enthusiasm a teacher/tutor has for the subject can make all the difference. I've had plenty of teachers that lack the enthusiasm to inspire their students and it shows on test performance. This is something I am very conscious NOT to follow. I want my students to succeed...
