About Me

Hey! My name is Ian Brodka. I am currently a Sophomore at the University of Rochester in the pursuit of my Chemistry B.S. degree and I hope to pursue an M.D./Ph.D. program for a Chemistry Ph.D. and to become a medical doctor. I have been a Teaching Assistant (TA) for a few classes here on the University and have had great success with my students here. I like to think that the reason for that is because I tend to teach in a slightly different manner from how most other people do. I like to be rather informal in my teaching style and I add in jokes because it lightens the mood and I believe students learn better when they are having some fun. With that in mind, I also like to be sure my students are engaged and are actually going through problems so they can understand and get hands on experience with things they may experience on an exam. If this sounds like a teaching style that might work for you, I would be happy to help you in any subject I can!

Q&A with Ian

My teaching philosophy is that a student isn't truly learning unless they can laugh every once in awhile, and if they are not, actively practicing different problems. The laughter keeps the edge off, and the problems show you what you don't actually know.
