...for the past year. It has been a very fulfilling experience and a skill I would like to continue developing. It is such a joy for me to see the light of understanding in my students' eyes and be able to track their progress and academic achievements. I love the challenge of catering to each person's learning style and finding what works best for them. Let's learn together and have fun doing it!

...what concepts they are struggling with, whether it's the current lesson or a missed concept from a previous lesson. I also like to integrate general study and test-taking skills into my lessons, regardless of the subject. While I believe that it is important that a student is able to remember the details to solve a particular problem, I think it is vital that the student understand the broader concept surrounding the problem.

...to give them tools on how to approach the problems. I have a B.S degree in Electrical Power Engineering Technology and a M.S degree in Engineering Technology from University of Houston. Math has always been my strong area. In my Calculus 1 course at University of Houston, I had the 3rd highest final average in a class of almost 200 students. I have also tutored many college students at University of Houston. I like to...

I strive to work with every one of my students to build on their knowledge of topics, so that they have a full understanding of whatever subject we...

...Physics with difficulties ranging from basic math to 2nd year calculus. I think the reason my students consistently favor my approach to math and especially physics is my use of practical and physical analogies that make the material easier to relate to, and thus, understand. I like to break the material into bits and cast it in terms of familiar experiences and existing knowledge. From here, it becomes easier for students to build up an...

...can only, in time, prove beneficial in the grander understanding of a given topic. Every student (everyone, truly, for are we not all students?), in varying degrees of severity, learns differently, takes in the world around them differently, and manifests that information differently. No one teaching method could ever account for the infinite variable of personality and general humanness; hence the importance of one-on-one teaching. I take my position as a tutor seriously for this...

I believe that our...

...tutor, I always try to relate the material at hand to specific interests of my student. I find that a student understands topics better when we find a way to equate his or her own hobby to the material. With that, I really seek out what the student enjoys doing and use their hobbies as positive reinforcements for learning. Personally, my interests include music (vocal and instrumental), sports, Harry Potter, superheroes, and juggling.

...and skills to become an independent learner and get students thinking about what they need to do to be successful. I love to have a relationship with my students that makes them feel comfortable so that they can ask the questions they need ot ask in order to become a better student. Lots of students have anxiety, and I specialize in alleviating anxiety in order to help students to be at their best for the...

...Sister program, tutoring students within the elementary and middle school age groups. My background in psychology gives me a greater appreciation for the various teaching techniques. Everyone learns differently and whether I am tutoring 5th grade math, psychology, or a foreign language, it is important to adapt to the student's unique way of learning, some of which may be unconventional. I grew up on two different continents (North America and Africa) which has given me...

...currently teach Pre-K and have experience teaching elementary school, working one-on-one with at-risk students, teaching english language learners, and tutoring students in different academic areas.

Also, I...

For this reason, when I am not teaching standardized test preparation, I often tutor high school and college level mathematics as well as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. If you are interested in getting...

...issue in a collaborative manner in order to really help the student improve. As someone currently in graduate school, I have seen my peers struggle with subjects and struggled myself.
