Each time I see a student reach a goal, or understand something he or she did not before, I remember how much I love to teach. I know the feeling of struggling with a subject.

...and help solidify the student's understanding of the subject matter. With a better understanding, it is expected that the student will be motivated to approach problems with increased skill and eventually confidence. A student's insight is important to solving mathematics and calculus problems. Sometimes this insight is based on physical intuition--but it does not need to be. I spend time to ensure that the student starts on a correct approach. With years of hands-on-experience in...

...types. Math has always been my favorite subject to tutor because I know the difference a good math teacher can make. It was my 12th grade statistics teacher that pushed me to at least try taking a math class in college - a subject that I swore I would never take again after high school. Four years later, I graduated with a math minor and now work with statistical/econometric modeling everyday in my professional life....

...educational testing. My goal is not to make sure you remember the formula for the volume of a cone ten years from now. It's to help you develop the awareness to budget your time, focus your attention on the problems that are most easily solved, apply a few heuristics that'll shave minutes off of some questions, and be comfortable throughout the testing process. If you do this, you'll give yourself a much better chance of...

From my experience conducting physics experiments and research,...

...to a solution. I also try to apply this method to test preparation, so that students aren't just following a test-taking strategy because they were told to, they are using that strategy because they were encouraged to discover it for themselves and they understand why it works. Ultimately, I enjoy teaching because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I...

While grammar and sentence structure are key to presenting work in an optimal manner, the development of ideas and critical thinking are at the core of a good paper.
