When I'm not tutoring, I teach beatboxing workshops, perform stand-up comedy, work on my art,...

...focus in tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they...

...them for a gap in understanding. Through guided, methodical problem solving and socratic questioning, I work with my students at their pace and in a manner that best suits their unique learning styles.
