...science. These subjects are by far my favorite topics so they are always fun to tutor. My approach to tutoring is to simplify things down to bite-sized chunks for the student. I find that difficulty in concepts often stems from trying to gloss over the more basic parts. This is the philosophy I use when I am learning and studying, as well as tutoring. I always try to be patient and take things one step...

...track. I speak English and Latvian fluently, and am learning Arabic and French. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the sciences because I feel that introducing students to the sheer amount of what is possible in the sciences is an amazing opportunity.

...my mentor informed me that I may not be able to achieve all of these courses at once, I knew it was up to my own mental capability to achieve what I wanted.

...and Music Performance. During my studies I began tutoring other university students of all levels in both German and Latin. Assisting language students has been a joy for me since the beginning, and an endeavor I have been eager to continue pursuing.

Often times there is no translatable comparison, and it's through these discoveries that I have been able to...

..."I believe in my students!" My pedagogy centers on building confidence and developing sound work habits to reach the goal of skill transfer to school and life in general. A typical tutoring situation starts with my reviewing a student's past work, observing his/her thought processes as he/she works on an assignment. As I continue to assess the strengths and identify the areas of improvement I provide careful guidance so that he/she demonstrates the full competence...

My love for teaching and tutoring stems from my experience growing up on a sailboat in the Bahamas and Florida. I was an only child, home-schooled from age 5 through age 18, so I was accustomed to learning independently, immersed in a constantly changing educational environment. I draw upon this experience as I teach others to learn conceptually, applying newfound knowledge to the world around them.

...world. I have always been interested in why people turn out the way that they do. I want to understand how the pathways in the brain of a low-income person from a hostile environment who perseveres and becomes a Harvard graduate compares and contrasts with the brain of someone from a wealthy, privileged environment who ends up in rehabilitation for drug use. In understanding, it is my high ambition to expand our understanding of brain...
