I am a senior in Biomedical Engineer at the University of Minnesota. I'm well versed in general courses such as Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry as well as more advanced courses such as Biomechanics, Fluid Dynamics, and Materials Engineering.

I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.... I would talk...

...been blessed with three grandchildren on opposite ends of the country, and if I want to have fun with them, I need to be available. This led me to spend the next four years teaching English as a Second Language online to students aged 3-16, for which I hold TSOL and TFEL certificates. I found out that genuine, meaningful relationships can be formed virtually. And this love of teaching flexibly, online, brought me to Varsity...

Soon after, I taught special education where I empowered students to become independent learners while using creative approaches to accommodate varied learning styles while tracking student progress and following timelines for re-evaluations.

I try to convey the principles and...

...learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a regular basis and to receive...

I play the guitar, solve Rubik's cubes, refinish old furniture, read...

I...
