My ultimate desire is not only to help students understand subjects that they may be struggling with, but to help them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of...

...the Prudential Spirit of Community Award. I attended an early college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where I worked with struggling students one-on-one.

...UT Austin during my undergraduate years. I understand that books can be hard to decipher quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question...

For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well.

I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I...

...tailor classes to their needs. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute tasks that are contingent on their subject mastery. Regardless of if you are solving a complex equation or putting together an essay for college, emphasizing a...

I tutor a wide variety of STEM topics, with math, computer science and physics being the academic subjects that I enjoy teaching the most.
