...there to stay. A successful learning situation for myself would be being able to teach someone something, not only so they understand it, but also understand it enough to ask questions and think critically about it.

...understanding. I make abundant use of writing in my instruction, as it is a powerful tool for improving reading. At the same time, writing is a critical skill that must be taught in its own right. I show my students how to break the writing process into small, manageable pieces, as well as apply proper mechanics and grammar. A thirst for knowledge and love of reading led me to study English as an undergraduate. A...

In academic settings my visual learning disability necessitated that I find success in creative outlets and work more closely with my teachers (I was always doing alternative projects that could demonstrate my knowledge of the material).

I have found tremendous joy, peace of mind,...

Hi, I'm Jonathan Yushuvayev (Don't worry about pronouncing that correctly)! I really love math and science, almost as much as I love TUTORING math and science.

...vital to a student's academic journey is the foundational concepts such as writing skills, reading comprehension, organization, and more. During sessions, students have the opportunity to continue to hone in on these skills through guided readings, visual aids, writing projects, and more.

In addition to offering support in ELA concepts, I...

Since mathematics is such a conceptual subject, I find that by understanding misconceptions and errata, one might gain a better...

This gave me the opportunity to not only teach neuroscience-related content, but to...
