Because of this I am now part of a Hispanic volunteer group helping children learn to read more fluently. I played rugby and...

...figure things out without a lot of explanation. In most things, I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so I'm excited to learn...

...world. I am greatly motivated to teach in a way that my students understand the fundamental principles and not in a way that they can merely get the right answer.

Although I am most passionate about physics, I also tutor math and...

...to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored...

...to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

I tutored for courses in astronomy, multivariable calculus, and partial differential equations.

...their eyes turn on, and bam! They get it. Those kind of experiences led to my decision to make teaching an integral part of my career.

Beyond the world of teaching, I love volleyball and the outdoors. Hiking, camping, backpacking, being outside energizes my soul....

...drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps: A) What do I know? B) What do I want to know? C) How do I get from A to B? I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a...

...took advantage of any opportunities to learn from the students about their past experiences and their thoughts on the world. I used review work with small groups to foster relationships between the students. Several times our discussions lead us to discover completely unexpected, but relevant, information about individual students.

...University Hospital. Also, through out my undergrad I have gained experience tutoring from having a lot of my friends come to me to help them in the hard sciences I have already taken. In tutoring, I have found that the "eureka!" moment happens from going back to the basics, finding that disconnect of knowledge, and filling it in. I like to break down each component of the question and make sure my students understand what...

...to Russian to English. I believe that in education, the most important element is not the lesson but the learner. Every student (of any age) has a unique set of strengths and needs, and thus requires a teacher who values not simply the subject matter but the students themselves. On top of it all, education is one of the surest ways to advance oneself and ensure maximum progress and satisfaction in life. As a result,...

...it can be to learn about a subject that is difficult, or from a teacher who does not connect well with their students. That is why I strive to teach my students by the principal I learned from Alfred Mercier "What we learn with pleasure we never forget".
