Assessments can be formal or informal, but they are necessary to check for understanding as well as to evaluate...

Medical school has taught me many...

I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been...

...the tutoring sessions an enjoyable experience for the student. I attempt to establish a positive rapport with the student as quickly as possible in which the student feels understood, accepted and liked. If the student is comfortable with the tutor, the focus can be entirely on the subject matter. I use humor whenever possible. My interests outside of tutoring include daily exercise and writing. I am currently taking a course in playwriting.

...The next two theories are two of my favorite that I've learned in all of my studies of education pedagogy because I see them played out virtually every day in the school-based setting. The first theory is multiple intelligence by Howard Gardner. The theory states that intelligence differentiates it into specific "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Gardner articulated seven criteria for a behavior to be considered an intelligence....

...of it being difficult and nonsensical, which I often find stems from poor communication between students and their teachers. As a tutor, I aim to rectify that problem with one-on-one sessions designed to tackle concepts from a different angle, that perhaps the teacher had overlooked. There is no better feeling to me than that moment of clarity when a student finally understands something they had been previously struggling with. Aside from math and studying, I...
