My tutoring/teaching style combines a big-picture, compassionate approach with detail-oriented and focused efficiency. In other words, I motivate my students by helping them apply their lessons...

Science is my favorite because I love experimenting, building projects like soda bottle water rockets, and working for and with wildlife by cleaning up their habitats and raising trout from eggs for release as fry (juvenile fish). Math is exciting to tutor, especially using manipulatives and other forms of representation-we can do that visually online as we work together. Reading for fun is one of my hobbies, but...

...tutor students in English subjects -- writing and reading. I also tutor in history/world cultures as well as SAT prep. When I'm not working with students, I spend time with my camera.

I picked Math as my major since it has always interested me, although I have a lot of experience from high school helping kids to write fluent essays.

...they can comprehend. And second, of a deep belief in the interest and importance of the thing taught, a concern about it amounting to a kind of passion.

...that influence a student's life . For example, cultivating a love for American literature by looking at it through the lens of sports writing. This idea provides a foundation for how I view education; as never simply confined to the classroom. We engage in the learning process through truly ever part of life.
