I have tutored my peers and underclassmen in...

...I have had a lot of positive feedback and commendations from students that I have tutored; one time in particular a professor came up and thanked me because of their students mentioning of how they liked the way I had explained the topic by relating it to real-world examples. For example, when going over ionization energies for elements, they can be thought of in the same way as viewing a plane that is trying to...

...as going over the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood. For Biology, I use a similar style, but with more emphasis on making sure the concepts are as easily understood as possible to facilitate easier learning and memorization. Finally, on a personal level, I enjoy doing just about everything. I played water polo in high school, swam throughout high school and into my first two years of college, and played...

I believe that the best strategy to teaching is to identify misconceptions and carefully build up understanding from the basics.

...calculus, chemistry, physics, history, essay writing, and SAT test prep. I also taught middle school math for two years at a small classical charter school in Texas, and I am certified in Texas as a generalist in grades four to eight as well as for mathematics in grades eight to twelve. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2011 with a degree in History, and I am currently working through a Master's...

...and I also currently tutor Middle and High School students. I personally enjoy equipping others to learn and understand concepts that at first glance may seem daunting. My students' mastery of the subject brings personal satisfaction in knowing that I helped them learn. I strongly believe in education and learning and hope to help your student achieve their academic potential. Besides Mathematics, I enjoy traveling and culture. I've played soccer since the age of seven...

I received my Ph.D. (2020) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Arizona. Taking a variety of courses during almost 10 years of my education, I know how hard sometimes can be to understand and successfully pass a course.

I most enjoyed creating fun lesson plans to teach difficult biology topics! As a native Japanese speaker, I have always enjoyed bringing my culture to...

...me appreciate the different methodologies of learning and teaching the materials. Teaching styles vary when going over algebra and basic calculus to organic chemistry to human anatomy, but my tutoring style begins by talking to the student to understand the personality of the student. By talking, this helps both myself and the student see how they will learn the material. In my spare time, I enjoy reading to gain a better scope of life and...

...Math, Computer Science, and Engineering. I understand the difficulty that students face when learning a new subject. I believe that finding a way to relate to the subject that you're trying to learn, increases your ability to absorb new information. I want to pass along the "tricks of the trade," that I have learned over the years, to help other students succeed. Learning a new subject should be exciting and empowering. Developing skills to tackle...
