...that I am excited to share with students. I become animated when explaining science and make the learning process fun for the student while I get them involved in absorbing the material. My ultimate goal in life is to be a teacher and tutoring is a way to build my teaching skills.... My philosophy on teaching is based upon the idea that the student comes first. My goal is to become a mentor to the student and to be seen as a resource, not a burden. I find it beneficial to get to know the student's strengths and weaknesses in not only the subject at hand but other subjects as well. This allows me to use the student's skills to his or her advantage when forced to focus on a subject that at first may seem to be impossible. I believe that the student should be allowed to work at his or her own pace and in a conducive work environment because with proper guidance the student's learning will come naturally. I also believe in the cliché saying that learning should be fun, and that is because it is! I make it a goal to have a good time during my sessions, and I want my students to feel the same. I try to include campy jokes or puns when appropriate to keep a light mood. I believe that with a smile and a passion for teaching, I can make a difference.
