...thing I stress to every student is that to completely comprehend subjects, one should not just memorize the steps to do the problems but rather embrace the concepts to learn the material inside out. As leisure, I watch a few T.V. shows that interest me and play video games. However, I mainly play sports such as basketball and volleyball and I’m very passionate about both sports because these sports teach many eternal lessons that I...

The way I explained multiplying decimals may not work the next week when I try to explain multiplying fractions, for example, I have to be...

...to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems based in those foundations. I also apply this philosophy to...

...from Sacred Heart University. I don't have any plans at this time to work towards any other degrees, but I am leaving the possibility open because I believe that a person never stops learning and you always make time to broaden your horizons, especially with the use of the internet and the increasingly new technologies that are being discovered every day. I tutor all elementary school subjects including reading, math, science, social studies and writing....

I enjoy learning and teaching about living things in particular, but all areas of science are of great interest to me.

Utilizing visuals and sharing learning strategies with my students are some of the most effective ways to help...
