There is nothing more fulfilling than the feeling you get when you help a student understand something, at a detailed level, which they previously struggled with.

Nothing is too complicated; there are always alternative teaching methods, analogies, memory techniques, and positive learning experiences that will allow...

...students engaged in all the aspects of Physics, Biology, and Geology that I taught. Yet, my favorite by far was space science. Prior to teaching the basics of astronomy, I hadn't appreciated the intricate magnificence of things like how stars form or what makes a planet habitable. As I was able to inspire my students, they also inspired me. They told me to do more and get involved and I took their advice. My wife...

...unusual circumstances or special needs. While I tutor everything from academic prep through scholarship applications, I find the most satisfaction during the college essay process, as the student and I weave together their most important experiences into a compelling admission essay.
