...took most basic science classes; many others, I simply took out of interest. I am comfortable with tutoring in a broad range of subjects, though I hold some preference to teaching mathematics-related courses. What I do in my free-time is rarely consistent. These days, I've been trying my hand at writing a video game in Java. This is still in a very early developmental phase, but I hope to end up with an 8-bit rpg-platformer...

I enjoy teaching and seeing that light of understanding come on in a persons eye when they grasp a concept they were having problems with before.... Introduce ourselves and backgrounds, and then see where the beginning competencies are and what needs worked on.... Get them interested in the subject and spark curiosity in said subject. I'll relate what we are learning to something...

...James Comunale and through my teaching career my goal has been to make material easy for students to relate to and understand. I have done this by relating the material to real-life situations so students can make comparisons between content and things they can see everyday.
