...subject. Instead of just plugging in numbers and getting the right answers I want you to know what those numbers represent, what the correct way to pursue the problem is, and why that is the correct way in the first place. Outside of academia my time is spent evenly between reading fantasy books from the library on my kindle, playing video games with my friends, and watching Japanese film and animation. I think of myself...

...my understanding of the principles of both teaching and how Physics can be taught. Many students are intimidated by math and physics so I strive to make the content as digestible and accessible. Helping students learn the essentials of math and physics is important to me as it allows for a greater base to which to establish success in other sciences and subjects. In my spare time, I enjoy playing chess, listening to the latest...

...Pittsburgh. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Decision Science. Since then I have lived in several parts of the country including New York City as well as Orlando, Florida.

For students who only want to pass the language exam, I will try to meet with them before their exam in order to strengthen their memory. For students who are highly interested in Chinese culture,...

...high school at The Pingry School, where my curiosity was naturally swept up by Math and Physics. This would eventually lead to my earliest experiences with tutoring - using pictures and mnemonic devices to understand some of the heavier concepts myself, and subsequently sharing those with other students. My academic studies ultimately led me to Dartmouth College. Finding myself enthralled with both the creative capabilities as well as the underlying technical affordances of Computer Science,...
