...researching HIV. I have loved science since I watched "Outbreak" as a child. It is so fascinating that something as small as a virus or bacteria can wreck so much havoc on the body.

In my spare time I enjoy running (I've run 5 half marathons and had to recently stop training for...

...Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle.

...that is why I believe it is imperative to build a strong parent teacher relationship. I believe that students all have the capability to be self-learners if teachers are able to build relationships with things they familiar with to connect with the concepts they are learning. Although children may have different learning styles, all children have the innate capability to learn, and I believe as an educator, it is my job to facilitate this process....

...science. Because of my awareness that these subjects can be extremely monotonous and confusing, especially to a struggling student, I strive to make the subject material fun and interesting through a variety of modes - catered to each individual.

I firmly believe that each individual has their own particular way to learn and in...

...My favorite thing about tutoring is just being able to share the subjects I love with other people. I have previous experience tutoring French and writing at Saint Mary's College, where I have received pedagogical training as a part of my work.
