...surely enough, the fear of being wrong still persists in these students as well.I told them what I told my younger students about how being wrong helps us to learn and find the right. Once students started to incorporate this into their mentality, tutoring sessions would suddenly become just casual conversations because my students were basically teaching and motivating themselves. If given the opportunity, I will motivate my students as a tutor and be with...

...do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible to more people, especially those who don't think they're up to the task.

...teaching classes, would bring me the most satisfaction. During my time at Harvard, however, I saw that the realities of academic science conflicted with my earlier vision of life as an academic scientist. My time at a fast-paced research-focused institution highlighted those conflicts and has motivated me to pursue teaching the sciences to high school students. Students have described me as "efficient, effective, [and] fun," "an absolute pleasure," and "a phenomenal teacher [] a natural."...

I remember being pretty drained from squeezing out all my energy to help my friend understand the material. But all was paid off when she finally understood and even...
