...Teaching and studying the ocean are my two favorite academic pastimes (sports being my other favorite activity). I strive to make every session ACTUALLY enjoyable. Sitting in class all day is draining, so my sessions are different in that they are fun and engaging. You can't learn if you're bored or uninterested. I work hard to make even factoring a polynomial fun! I have loads of experience in Math, a degree in Physics, and tons...

...patience, the student is not only able to learn the mathematical process, but also the ability to think analytically. I would say that my tutoring philosophy is based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction.

...a student is like solving a puzzle. Each student has her or his own unique set of strengths. I believe that figuring out what these are and molding the content around them is the key to good teaching. Helping students to see and to use their own strengths is the least mentioned part of the equation, but for me it is the most important, because that is how I get my kids to become autonomous...

...but by being an active participant in a number of student writing workshops and a student press, through which I wrote and edited a short book of creative non-fiction.

I have over ten years of experience tutoring and I love working with my students.

...as a teaching assistant since I began graduate school. I really enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them understand tough material and get interested in material that can sometimes seem dry at first. I especially enjoy helping students with improving their term papers. I have found that many students have good ideas, but struggle with putting them onto paper in a clear and concise manner. I also think good grammar is becoming a lost...

...that I love languages! I learned German fin Germany when I was on the year-long Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program in high school. I went to Germany knowing only a few words, so I definitely know language learning frustrations first-hand.

...to daily life and about helping people put words together in ways that help them clearly and accurately communicate their ideas. In my experience, classroom lessons are often more complex or confusing than they need to be, because they are presented in ways that are completely unrelated to a student's experience.

...I evaluate each student's pace and identify opportunities for growth. Often, the children I worked with in economically depressed areas had working parents or spoke a language other than English at home, thus it was difficult for their parents to assistance with studies. I have seen firsthand the impact that early intervention has, and I always miss working with my students when they inevitably reach their education goals and no longer need my help. I...
