...Equations, and Physics. I have attained a 3.85 GPA in my 5 semesters at Lipscomb. Outside of school, you will often find me working on my car, photographing nature, or fishing.

Getting outside is very important to me, especially since I tend to be cooped up in my dorm during the...

...identity. The school where I teach is small enough that I teach almost every math class, and I have designed my own curriculum. This gives me a lot of opportunities to try out new and exciting ways to present information. Many of my students are non-traditional learners, whether they have learning differences, anxiety, ADHD, and/or are just outside-the-box thinkers. I have worked with math learners from elementary to high school in all areas of mathematics....

...box when presented with ideas -- sometimes without realizing my audience wasn't prepared for outside-the-box essays. I can help you craft an essay, no matter the subject material, or, I can help you wade through compositional matter. I also love diagramming sentences, which seems to be a lost art form... sadly. That's all I can think of for now, but here are a few questions the platform prompted me to answer: What are your favorite...

...enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and...

...many learning styles as feasibly possible. Students will rise to meet challenging expectations if practicality also is taken into consideration by the instructor. I aim to teach materials through multiple methods of presentation and to connect new materials to previous knowledge for concrete learning and a “bigger picture” view of materials’ relatedness across courses and disciplines. Additionally, I will provide students with a secure, caring, and stimulating learning environment, which will be student-centered. In such...

...time came when I accepted the role as a "classroom teacher." Administrators, educators and parents helped me become aware of great teaching principles, which I learned to apply. Those acquired skills helped me enhance the academic and character opportunities for each student. In 1998, I was chosen "Teacher of the Year," by my colleagues. The most significant goal I reached as a teacher, is that which I saw in teachers before me- the reward of...

...is in test prep and college readiness, with a focus on test-taking strategies that build self-esteem and improve performance. I began tutoring for a private company while I was a student at Columbia University in New York. While there, I had the opportunity to teach students of all backgrounds and levels of ability.

...I've often been complimented on my communication skills and problem-solving creativity, which I use in finding the best way to help each student I tutor to grasp material and retain it, as enjoyably as possible. Learning should be fun! Sometimes that can take some encouragement for a student who is struggling, and encouragement is another one of my gifts which I delight to employ. As far as experience, I have worked as a tutor for...

...focusing on writing and editing. I enjoy working with students, and have been fortunate to do so many places, including England, France, and California. Finding that the lessons I most remember in life are the ones I discover for myself, I try to guide a student to their own discoveries with questions instead of statements. Not surprisingly, writing is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also have an affinity for math. I think balance...

...(if not more) invigorating then learning them in the first place. Beyond that, I'm an open-minded fun dude that finds it easy to relate to just about anyone I meet: I am a "jock": through high school (and as hobbies now) I played football, basketball, hockey, golf, and lacrosse. I am a "nerd": Worked in computer programming, love video games, obsessed w Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars. I am "artsy": I paint,...

It gives me both joy that I was able to help them and joy that they were able to succeed. I know what it...
