...a formal education have a leg up on those who don't. You'll have better options for employment and have an easier time living the life you want to live. I myself was only able to get into medical school because my father stressed the importance of mathematics when i was very young. It helped get me through the hardest parts of college. Even now, while on leave from Med School, I am able to do...

...goal is to enable students to become independent learners by teaching strategies that will help them throughout their studies and relating abstract concepts to real life. Tutoring and mentoring has long been a passion of mine. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh, I tutored a refugee family; I worked with the two youngest girls in arithmetic and literacy and supported the older high school students in math and English. After graduating, I moved...

...While in college and graduate school I worked extensively as a tutor and teaching assistant in English, History and essay writing, and I worked with the YMCA as an elementary age tutor. I believe that learning is inherently a collaboration and conversation between student and teacher, and I love being a part of that conversation. My favorite part of teaching is the moment when students make breakthroughs; those moments of pride and understanding are what...

...of Hawaii). I took a short break from teaching to care for my parents---but even then I found a way to continue learning by going to culinary school (I love to cook! I love to eat!), earning degrees in Culinary Arts and Pastry before I returned to teaching once again. But formal schooling is only one way to continue learning. Traveling throughout the world has given me another kind of education, broadening my perspective and...

...engaged. My main goal is to help you become a better problem solver by focusing on foundational knowledge, critical thinking, and reasoning. I value all subject matter, but I find mathematics and science to be the most powerful and exciting fields of study. Outside of academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy climbing mountains, racing cars, fencing, and playing guitar. I've competed on the television contest American Ninja Warrior, and I also established a Guinness World...

...the same way. That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I felt very frustrated because I couldn’t grasp certain concepts. It wasn’t until I realized that I was a visual learner that I finally started to enjoy going to school. I know first hand that difficulty in classroom concepts can lead to...

...in a way that brings true understanding. These "aha" moments are priceless and bring confidence. I believe the best learning occurs when the student is learning just ahead of their level of understanding. By becoming comfortable making mistakes and learning from them, a student can move from proving they know to wondering and curiosity. This creates a life-long learner! I love helping students learn the backstory and interesting facts behind the topic they are studying....

...13 years primarily for my younger siblings. I am also a TA (Teacher’s Assistant) at Old Dominion for the Advanced Biology Laboratory. I also have conducted research at Old Dominion for ecological science.

I understand that everybody is different and we all learn at different rates. I know over time, I can...

Throughout my school years, like everyone else, I had teachers that...

I do so by using a variety of teaching methods, tailored to the...

I am originally from Buffalo, NY and spent 15 years working, learning and living in New York City until my recent move to Colorado.
