My way of tutoring is finding the humorous angle on otherwise dry topics to make it easier and more fun to understand. Ouside of tutoring and engineering, my hobbies are playing video games, tabletop role-playing games, and card games (they surprisingly have a lot of math in them!).

...labs for Inorganic and Organic Chemistry in a Community College and a University in CT.

I try to incorporate fun and hands-on experience in every session, but I'm also a self-proclaimed "grammar nazi." Thought I have fun, I will crack down...

...the needs of my customers. Though lecturing is not my preferred instructional method, I can produce an effective informational slide presentation if that works best for my students. I prefer to present an interesting phenomenon to the learner(s) who then identify what they notice and wonder about it. With my guidance the student or class identifies questions or problems for further investigation. This student-centered instructional approach supports engagement. Learner(s) would much rather figure out answers...
