...my ultimate goal. My intention is to be a science and/or math teacher at the high school or college level because there is nothing more satisfying than watching a student finally understanding a difficult concept.

Once I entered college, I began to see how effective teachers could make the difference for the students. This example...

...am a strong believer than learning occurs in a much different way than the traditional lecture method given in schools. Schools are teaching hard facts and not showing students how subjects can be applied to real life.

Tutoring sessions with me are structured much...

I'm currently a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I'm most familiar with high school math, history, and English as well as SAT and ACT prep. In my experience tutoring I've found that students respond best to a careful walktrough of the key points in a problem, followed by an opportunity to come up with the answer a similar question on their own.

...to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do. I hope you, too, will learn with me.

In my senior year of high school, I volunteered at a local elementary school, providing classroom assistance to teachers of Kindergarten through Sixth Grade.
