...complete their freshman and sophomore years of high school at the same time. I was also a general tutor for the whole school after hours. I learned a great deal about the nuances of working with the students, their families, and the resources that were available to them. I also understand the different types of student learning.

...to popular beliefs about bio majors, my most effective study technique is to avoid memorization whenever I can. I always aim for long retention of information--yes, I am against cramming! Of course, there are numerous occasions where memorization is unavoidable. In those cases, we will work together as a team to find a way that suits YOU best to make it as easy (and fun) as possible. I always try to gain a deep understanding...

I embrace a student centered approach to student learning. This means that I let the student lead the discussion of a particular problem. I have been teaching for 6 years at the high school level, having come off a BS in Math with a minor in Physics from UC Merced(go bobcats).

I have tutored in both individualized and group settings for various purposes, including SAT test prep, supplemental learning, and as a primary teaching resource. To that end, I have endeavored to truly understand my students on a personal level to make sure that the way I am tutoring them is the best way for them to learn. I have constructed lesson plans for both a single person and an entire 30 student classroom.

I love working with people and watching their dedication and hard-work pay...

...I have also tutored multiple students in beginning and intermediate Spanish, which I speak fluently. I am a native French speaker and worked as a French tutor for two boys, aged 7 and 8, in Washington DC, making learning fun by speaking in French with them as we played, rather than sitting them down for lessons. I try to be as flexible and creative as possible while teaching languages so that students understand how exciting...

...subjected to its process is either ignorant or unwise. One could suppose that's another way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to aid those in the muck of it so their efforts and time expenditure are met with appropriate results, because things are not easy and often times quite grueling. But we deserve better from those who might have a useful tip or...

...upon their reading experience and get ideas on paper. I also work with students to develop a comprehensive understanding of literary devices and writing mechanics, which can help with both standardized tests and school assignments.

When I'm not doing math I'm usually playing Dungeons and...

...mastery of even the most challenging of subjects. In other words, I aim for tutoring to not only be an aid for mental understanding but an avenue for turning the subject at hand into a fulfilling part of the overall life of the scholar. Therefore, I also work well with those who may be struggling with self-esteem and motivational issues as a result of academic struggles. In my spare time, I enjoy meditating, practicing yoga,...

...I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math or science is all about that one moment where everything "clicks" into place, and when it happens, you notice. That feeling is what drives my love for mathematics, science, and other related disciplines, whether I am experiencing that "click", or especially when...
