Bachelors, Physics North Central College
  • I first started tutoring in my first year at North Central College through a program called EDGE Structured Study.
  • Later, I became a teacher's assistant for the physics department at the college and helped physics students with labs and homework.

About Me

With these two jobs, I am able to assist many students at my college in math and physics. After a year of tutoring other students I began to notice that my knowledge on the topics had increased substantially and therefore my skills as a tutor increased even more. It is well known that the best way to know if you understand a topic is if you are able to explain it to others. Tutoring has allowed me to better understand my own topics and has given me the ability to teach them in several ways. Beyond tutoring, I also enjoy video games, Ultimate Frisbee, Soccer, Martial Arts, playing piano, and riding my bike around town and through trails. Having many interests is very helpful in college because it allows you to escape when you need to and come back to a problem or assignment with a more cleared mind.

Q&A with Brad

In teaching there are two main steps to ensure a topic is grasped by a student. First, of course, is teaching. The best way for a student to learn is by doing. In math and physics, this is done by doing example problems after learning the material. Second is assessment. The best type of assessment is to determine whether the student is able to explain a concept back. If these two steps are accomplished, it is almost guaranteed the student has learned the material.
