I have tutored fellow classmates throughout college in a variety of subjects; I have tutored biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology.

...be even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is great since I enjoy both! You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust them, they make up everything!) to the most complex proteins to applications in the real world. Chemistry is fun to learn, teach, and experience, so I try to make those random concepts as interesting and applicable as possible.

...with every section of the test. When I tutor, I tailor my teaching style so that I can pinpoint the exact misunderstanding my student has with the concepts/material they are trying to learn. This style makes me an efficient and effective tutor. I am a huge NBA fan and I also love to choreograph hip-hop dance during my downtime. Playing a little video games during one’s free time also does not hurt =).

...politics, I decided to go into education, and since then I have spent time working in a charter school, as a private English tutor in Madrid, and with both private and non-profit academic support and enrichment programs.

...as a high school math teacher and basketball coach in Washington D.C. Before that, I spent four years as a sportswriter and columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!). My approach to tutoring is the same way I approach training for a sport. If you...

...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. The student must be willing to learn and absorb information, as well as willing to work with me on a schedule that will match our goals and get the desired result. I...

...I have had many teachers contributed to myself falling in love with learning, with these experiences I hope to give pieces of that back to the next generation of scholars.

I also enjoy remaining active and being outdoors through running, hiking, skiing and...

...factors to success in life and I'm passionate about teaching others and helping them learn to be successful in ways they never thought they could. In particular, I enjoy helping students discover a fondness for math and science, two fields that can be intimidating. I love balancing these more technical subjects with subjects that are more "fun" or creative, such as language or art. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking, singing, working out,...

...most comfortable with math and sciences. My favorite subject is Statistics, as it has several practical uses that I apply in my life nearly every day.

I can teach you the basics of geometry, algebra, calculus and statistics, but more interestingly I can show you how to use what you learn to master the world around you. I'm not a professional teacher, I'm just a regular guy who learned all the tricks the...

For instance, I have an enduring love for literature and writing, and I am also completely fluent in German, having lived in Germany for fourteen years.

...in an entire week of school! When I teach, I strive to let my students know that they are in a safe place where no question is too insignificant to ask while simultaneously encouraging them to be active participants in the sessions so that they can better retain the material we cover and better analyze problems or questions for improved success! Some of my favorite activities outside of work include breaking out some tunes on...
