...sixth grader in time management, organizational skills and adjusting to more difficult topics in school. In June, I hope to be starting graduate school to get my Master's degree in teaching math and science. With this, I plan to teach high school science, specifically biology. In my free time, I love running, working out, skiing,...

...the pitfalls that creep up on exams. My tutoring style deconstructs concepts in a way that students can personally relate to, and by using visual analogies, I demystify the math between the atoms while not reinforcing memorization like many instructors. Because of my success, my students often told me that I should be the teacher....

I am a professional physicist/engineer, who also loves teaching and enjoys helping his students to master the subjects. I will always work hard and persistently with you until you understand the topic at hand and I will do my best to help you bridge any gap in knowledge that obstructs your way to success.

...lives. One of the major road bumps that students face is realizing when to ask for help. In my early years of college I realized this to be true. In mathematics especially, students tend to get frustrated and give up. I feel it is important to present mathematical concepts in a different ways, appealing to...

...addition to helping them through the difficult classes and topics. Learning science and mathematics doesn't have to be all about the boring lectures. It should be interactive, hands-on, creative, and team-oriented like science is. Why should science education be any different? One-on-one tutoring brings science and math education closer to this ideal. Science education will...

...concept. Math, in particular, takes patience and practice, which is what I plan to impart and work on with students.

...painful. In order to do this, I will often start with a basic problem that has an intuitive answer, identify the concept behind the problem, and then expand the concept in order to solve more complex problems. Teaching this way also provides students with a blueprint to independently solve problems in the future. In this...

...a follow up credential in administration. In the past, my students in mathematics routinely have returned to visit, sharing their continued successes following what was learned as a member of my classroom. I want to continue to help children "get it" as they are called on to rise to new heights in an increasingly competitive...

...and career successes. I have studied Japanese language and Chinese business and culture. I was an HR manager for a Japanese manufacturer.

...students in physics and math. It is important to identify which areas are causing you difficulty. Once you get on the right path you will improve your grades and have a deeper understanding of your studies. I love physics, but I understand not everyone does.
