About Me

I am very passionate about science and math and frequently tutor in these subjects. My approach to tutoring these subjects is to allow the student to fully comprehend the logic behind the concepts. In order to do this, I frequently use pictures, diagrams, models, and physical representation of the process at hand. Allowing the student to visualize the process gives them a greater ability to understand problems related to it. This approach is especially useful in science and math because they are subjects describing the phenomena of the physical world! Allowing the student to see the process which they are learning always proves beneficial to overall comprehension. When I'm not working in lab or classes, I love to scuba dive and enjoy some of the great outdoor activities Austin has to offer!

Hobbies & Interests

I am passionate about all things science! I love reading scientific articles and doing research in the lab I am a part of. I am also an avid scuba diver. I am a certified Divemaster and have completed over 100 dives around North America. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, and documentaries.

Q&A with Spencer

I believe teaching is most effective when students can conceptualize the processes at hand. I have achieved the best teaching results by using pictures, diagrams, and physical representations of science and math concepts. This allows the student to understand the question instead of simply memorizing the process.
