...a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation....

...give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material.

...needs; therefore, I try to always teach in a way that specifically caters to each individual's specific needs. I strongly believe that a good education is key to a happy and successful life. Oftentimes, students just need the right person with the right teaching style for that education to be a fun, easy process.

...good teacher - in my opinion - is one that develops a sensitivity to the joy that comes with learning. That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities...

My life revolves around excitement and a lack of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved.

There isn't only one way to learn, therefore there isn't only one way to teach! Adapting to learning styles and the varying needs of different students is something that I aim to do at all times; there is no one-size-fits-all method to learning. Each student's unique voice and method of comprehension in an academic environment deserves to be heard and considered with flexibility and an open mind. I do my best to listen and adapt...

...it most important to instill confidence in the student through methodical study of the subject matter and verbal encouragement. A lack of confidence at test time can be devastating. I watch a student solve problems and take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having the student work through...
