My wide breadth of teaching experiences from academic to more hands-on topics has heavily shaped my teaching philosophy as I have gained an understanding of various teaching methods. I feel that the most effective tutors are in fact able to blend these methods by presenting a topic from several different perspectives, whether a conceptual, visual, or hands-on approach. Furthermore, a tutor must be...

This is why my mission is to ensure each and...

They won't forget that.

I love to learn new things and am avid reader of the sciences. I believe that with the right teacher and the right work ethic a student can learn anything they want to learn....
