I was an 8th-grade science teacher in Cleveland, Ohio for three years. I loved getting my students engaged in all the aspects of Physics, Biology, and Geology that I taught. Yet, my favorite by far was space science. Prior to teaching the basics of astronomy, I hadn't appreciated the intricate magnificence of things like how stars form or what makes a planet habitable. As I was able to inspire my students, they also inspired me. They told me to do more and get involved and I took their advice.

My wife and I have just recently moved to Washington so I can attend George Washington University's Space Policy Institute. I'm studying to become a part of the growing space technology and policy field, but I also miss my students. This is where tutoring comes in.

One-on-one teaching is the best kind. Teaching an entire class is a special skill, but tailoring instruction to individual students is where deeper learning can happen more often. I've enjoyed classroom teaching, and I'm eager to continue teaching one student at a time.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

Hands-on; learn it fun and for real or don't learn it at all.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Get to know each other. What's your motivation? What are your struggles? How do you learn best?

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Don't give every answer. Find what motivates them. Make it interesting even if it's mundane.
