I have a Master's Degree in Physics and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from two top Universities in Minnesota. I have 5+ years of experience in teaching both Physics and Chemistry at the collegiate level. My philosophy about teaching Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics is that helping students develop insight, deep intuition, and a profound level of intimacy with concepts leads to a greater appreciation of the topic, an innate desire to learn it, and unavoidably, HIGHER TEST SCORES. I connect concepts with real world examples and bridge topics with multidisciplinary applications, helping students see the connectedness of the physical sciences and mathematics. With such a deep understanding and appreciation, students build a knack for QUICK AND CLEVER SOLUTIONS that prove to be extremely EFFICIENT IN EXAMS AND COMPETITIVE ACADEMICS.I am highly DIVERSITY-COMPETENT, both in the sociological sense and the academic sense. There is a diverse spread of students' backgrounds and needs that require thought and preparation on the teacher's part that come before the teaching. For example, I maintain caution when deciding to share or not share mathematical subtleties, computational details, and connections to higher-level topics, depending on the students' mathematical background, whether they are in a field that will later utilize some of those subtleties and details, or if they are in a non-physical science field trying to supplement their main educational goals with some additional coursework. As seen by some of my accolades such as "BEST GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANT of the year 2015 at University of Minnesota - Duluth", and consistently high reviews from students, I aim and succeed in providing thoughtful, high-quality, and tailored assistance with sustainable results for each of my students.

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. "- Malcolm XI got into tutoring because it is a way for me to make some extra money from the comfort of my own home. I have a toddler, so I am able to spend time with her, while still fulfilling my calling of teaching others. I currently work in an elementary school, going on my sixth year of teaching. I enjoy working with students and ensuring that they fully grasp a concept before moving on. If students are struggling to understand, I really try to help them understand in another way. Not everyone learns the same, so why should teaching all be the same?One of my favorite quotes is "Giving the gift of knowledge is giving the one gift that will never need to be returned." It truly shows that teachers don't need anything in return for their time. Helping to teach someone isn't something that needs a thank you, although it is always appreciated also!
