In middle school, I struggled to find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me...

I look forward to working with some great students! Outside of teaching and class, I enjoy watching and...

...reputation of being not fun. When students learn how to harness a difficult concept, questions are answered and new ones are discovered. I have studied motivation in educational contexts and have held various teaching/mentoring roles. Having graduated 1st in my class with a Masters degree, I know what it takes to succeed in academic settings. It is effort, not innate ability, that makes people excel. I try to put forth this effort and learn in...

My current goal is to aid biomedical researchers in their devising of novel medical technology in the area of stem cell and tissue regeneration. My future goal is to either pursue a Master's Degree and Ph.D in bioengineering, or to pursue medical school.

My cultural agility is the result of interactions with students of various nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although I would be delighted to tutor many subjects, my passion is English. From an early age, I have been fascinated with words and the way we use them. I would love to help a pupil become attuned to the nuances of...

...be complicated, and it is not something you get right away. I believe with practice and skill one can be better able to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking Math but ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more interesting...

All of my students expect to work very hard in order to achieve their goals. In my free time, I like to watch foreign and independent films, sample new restaurants, and discuss politics with my friends. I love Seattle and expect to stay here for a long time!

...I have never been a fan of memorizing facts, so whenever possible I like to tackle concepts in a manner that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I can grasp issues better by breaking them up into small, manageable steps and concepts, so this is what I strive for in helping others as well. I find this approach tends to lead to a deeper understanding so students are able to recognize...
