...level. I enjoy teaching math to my students, but I mainly like to focus on helping my students develop independent study skills that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students...

...graduated in June of 2012 from National Tsing Hua University, which is one of the best universities in Taiwan. Currently I am applying to the Applied Physics program for graduate school. I have experience tutoring visually impaired students in both math and physics aging from 11 to 16. Throughout the years, I have developed a style of bringing experiments into tutoring. I believe that combining real world with the textbook helps students understanding the concepts...

My friends and family, although spread out, are very important...

...because I love experimenting, building projects like soda bottle water rockets, and working for and with wildlife by cleaning up their habitats and raising trout from eggs for release as fry (juvenile fish). Math is exciting to tutor, especially using manipulatives and other forms of representation-we can do that visually online as we work together. Reading for fun is one of my hobbies, but I know how to inspire struggling readers and teach them techniques...

...a variety of learning styles, but it reinforced my respect for the tremendous responsibility that we as educators have to students. My teaching philosophy is based on flexibility and compassion; traits that I feel are fundamental for a good tutor. Education is a self-motivated endeavor - it not only improves ones quality of life, it literally rewires the way your brain views our world and the results are remarkable. And though I tutor several subjects,...

...“Ohh!”). There’s an explanation that does the trick for everybody, and we just have to find it – that’s my teaching philosophy. I like to use lots of analogies and stories in my explanations, because anchoring difficult concepts in everyday experiences makes them much easier to comprehend. In addition to physics, I also enjoy tutoring subjects in math (Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, etc.), and Biology and Chemistry. And in my spare time, I enjoy playing Club...

...I have taught middle school for 17 years and try to pass on my love of learning to each and everyone of my students.

...rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so...

...myself able to practice it effectively, I am under no illusions as to having perfected it.

...shown us time and again that the human brain works like a muscle: the more you practice lifting heavy concepts, the stronger your understanding of even the most difficult subjects becomes.
