...City Year, I provided support to a class of 37 fourth graders; I co-organized and co-facilitated after school programs and school-wide initiatives; and I provided data-driven interventions in behavior, Math, and English Language Arts to fourth graders at risk of falling off track in those areas. My passion for education relates to my desire to empower others with knowledge, allowing them to achieve their dreams regardless of their circumstances. This philosophy manifests itself in my...

...feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I would like to base my teaching philosophy upon this profound Chinese proverb. My objective is to not only to help the students understand and solve problems, but also to make the learning process interesting for them and to give them tools on how to approach the problems. I have a B.S degree in Electrical Power Engineering Technology...

...students through challenging chemistry, physics, and biology courses. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor two years early, I have been spending most of my time doing research. My research projects have ranged from molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology to applied chemistry, nanomaterials, and algorithm development. I think that I have received enough experience not only to be an expert in these fields, but also confidently share my knowledge with my students.

...particular problem, I work to understand what concepts they are struggling with, whether it's the current lesson or a missed concept from a previous lesson. I also like to integrate general study and test-taking skills into my lessons, regardless of the subject. While I believe that it is important that a student is able to remember the details to solve a particular problem, I think it is vital that the student understand the broader concept...

...the 10th or 11th grade. That was when I began to think about the world from a scientific perspective. I studied Biology at Wayne State University for five years on a presidential scholarship, for which I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal...

My subjects include ACT/SAT prep, Algebra I and II, Statistics, Psychology, and...

...the opportunity to accomplish all of these tasks. In the classroom, teachers are not infallible founts of knowledge; instead, they are experienced facilitators of learning. I believe that I have the skills to teach students how to learn and to help them get comfortable pushing boundaries. Teachers are around to remind students that failure is okay, and to push them to always keep striving for answers despite trying out wrong ones. I believe that science...

The original meaning of the word "Doctor" was teacher. As a psychiatrist, I have learned to first listen to my patients and then teach them how to find the solutions to their problems. I bring this art of listening and teaching to my non-clinical work.... In order to learn a subject, the student must find something interesting or relevant in it. He does not need to like the subject or enjoy it. He only needs to understand to have the subject related to something in his own life. We learn by making connections. Boring and unconnected facts are hard to learn and impossible to remember.
