About Me

I am a BYU student, an am currently working toward a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. As a student, I have found that I respect teachers more when they can understand the questions posed by my fellow students. I think that it is important to find out what a student knows before trying to teach a new concept. That way any misconceptions can be cleared up at the beginning, instead of fighting against them for weeks or even longer. I have taken classes in Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, and Writing, and believe that understanding students is one of my strengths.

Q&A with Mark

Students already have an idea of how the world works, and listening to them express what they understand (right or wrong) gives the teacher a better picture of how to teach them. Explaining things in their own words also forces students to think about their ideas in new ways, and can help them learn.
