In the past, I volunteered at a community college academic support center as a math and science tutor and would have been hired on a professional basis, had it not been for some age-related hiring restrictions.

Through the college tutoring center I received professional training on the best methods to help students learn and attended weekly workshops to improve my teaching...

I understand that is vague and does not mean much now, but to me it means that I will make sure the students understand the subject inside and out.

I do not believe that strictly memorizing information, myself or the student, will be beneficial in the...

...my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question.

I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style...

...and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I...
