...experiences as both a student and a teacher have helped me understand that everyone has different learning speeds and processes. However, I have found that a learning experience which places a heavy emphasis on communication, structure, and critical thinking can play a significant role in cognitive development and long term skill retention. In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover...

...have worked with college students struggling in early mathematics courses such as trigonometry, algebra and elementary statistics. While at my university I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion.

I believe every student has the potential to succeed, it is just a question of finding the right entryway into the material.

I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to...

...neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school.

My first priority is to focus on what the student's goals, and hopefully overcome them. Only then will I try to incorporate some of my own goals for them, to give them more than what they expected to get out of getting a tutor.
