...as flexible and receptive, my teaching style must be fluid because not all students learn in the same way. Some students may learn best by completing ten practice problems while others need pictures and visuals, teachers need to have a solid foundation in their subject area so they can modify their instruction to the needs of the student. Outside of teaching, I spend my time engaged in Sports and Arts. I am an avid photographer,...

...I feel that the tutor gains as much as the student from the experience. As a tutor, I believe that students will enjoy learning if they understand the material rather than memorize it, so I always strive to clarify the underlying principles and central themes of any topic I am explaining. This also helps the student apply their knowledge independently to other areas, which is the ultimate goal. I tutor programming languages, including Java, JavaScript,...

Students I work with on a regular basis become more confident, organized, and are better prepared to...
