...as a society. All chaos comes from ignorance, and all peace comes from truth. Moving from that level to the personal, i'd say the general rule is, those with a formal education have a leg up on those who don't. You'll have better options for employment and have an easier time living the life you want to live. I myself was only able to get into medical school because my father stressed the importance of...

...I stated above I believe that forging a personal connection between the student and the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity. People learn best when they want to learn. Information should be manageable and engaging and assignments should fuel a desire to learn more. To do this I will ask my students a lot of questions and listen carefully to all...

...the sciences. Through tutoring, I hope to share these insights and excitement for the subject while deepening conceptual understandings. The greatest metric of success in a tutoring session is being told that I was able to break down explanations from the student's class and reformulate them into a version that is compatible with their way of thinking. I aim to use my empathy and sensitivity to students' unique struggles and learning styles to teach concepts...

...I have 2 years of experience teaching Kindergarten in Florida, before relocating to Colorado late last year. I really love working one on one with students as I feel the uninterrupted time together yields better results. I like that I can dedicate my time and energy to one student, and I feel students respond better to this. While I have tutored within my certification to elementary aged children, my main passions are reading, writing and...

...Mines. Using the knowledge I have gained and will gain at Mines, I want to become involved in the forefront of renewable energy technologies. I have been putting my goals into action the last two years by interning at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory doing research in photovoltaic reliability. In high school and college, I have gained experience mentoring peers and helping them not only succeed, but enjoy their school work. I believe that for...

...learns differently, and as a teacher and tutor I aim to give my students a diversity of learning approaches so that we can figure out which one works best for them. I love getting to know my students personally so that I can best match my teaching style to the type of person and learner they are. I have a B.A. in History from Brown University and a Masters of Science in Environmental Education, plus...

...I am a very active individual, and I am highly curious about everything. I always want to try new things, and I am driven by a visceral love of adventure. Despite these innate qualities, I am also very driven to help other people, and tutoring is a simple, yet powerful and effective way I can help others. I have done a lot of tutoring work in the past working with students of all ages from...

...and compellingly is invaluable. In my tutoring, I focus on helping students identify the strategies that writers use to make their point. This way students can critically evaluate what writers are saying, as well as use these strategies themselves when they want to articulate their own opinions. I believe that it’s important to become familiar with the common structures and tactics used in writing in order to develop one’s own voice. In my experience tutoring...

...building relationships with students and their families. We even had class potlucks at my family's home every year! Students should have every opportunity to learn skills and content in a way that brings true understanding. These "aha" moments are priceless and bring confidence. I believe the best learning occurs when the student is learning just ahead of their level of understanding. By becoming comfortable making mistakes and learning from them, a student can move from...

...confidence creates momentum and positive feelings toward the subject, leading to improved grades and enjoyment at school. In my free time, I enjoy playing and recording music (cello, bass guitar, guitar, drums, and singing). Hiking and photography have been my latest hobbies. I have a broad range of recreational experience to draw from including rafting, motocross, mountain biking, rock climbing, jet skiing and snowboarding. I like to learn about a student's hobbies and interests because...
