After a year of working at the college I started at the...

...the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way) is the greatest moment for a tutor and I consider myself lucky that I can continue to tutor while working on my degree. My favorite subject to tutor is Statistics, although I'm available for other subjects as well. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy cooking, hiking, camping, biking, reading,...

...for both parties. My tutoring style is reflexive, meaning that I tailor my approach to the individual that I am working with. I have experience reading empirical literature on education and tutoring, and understand how this literature can inform my practices as a tutor, such as when I should use directive or nondirective language in an appointment. My experience working with a diverse population of students with vastly different educational and social backgrounds and needs...

...am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be carefully guided as they pursue their own understanding, and should be able to experience for themselves the fun of figuring out the natural world. I also believe that physics and mathematics are languages, and that explicit...

...Geography and Urban Studies Department. Temple University is also where I earned my MA in Geography and Urban Studies. Along with college students, I have worked with high school students. Upon graduating college, I worked as a substitute teacher, providing students with assistance whatever subject they have me working on for that day. Furthermore, there have been cases where I was in charge for classes where the teacher was absent for an extended period of...

...After graduating, I moved to Austin, Texas and completed a year of AmeriCorps. As an AmeriCorps member I was responsible for leading an after school science program, an opportunity that allowed me to create hands-on creative lessons and gain more experience tutoring and teaching. I tutored as an undergrad, and I absolutely love science (and math too!) I have taken a multitude of science courses as an undergrad and throughout medical school and feel very...
