Additionally, the useful applications of Algebra and Geometry create opportunities to engage students...

...privately for my parents' colleague's children in elementary school in mathematics, science, and reading. From my years of tutoring, I have learned that the most success comes from developing a healthy and friendly relationship with my student that encourages pushing him/her to achieve what they previously thought they couldn't, while still staying within the student's comfort zone. Learning shouldn't ever become too frustrating! Aside from tutoring, I have been a referee at the YMCA. I...

...lives. I've also had some experience in helping classmates with subjects such as Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. I strongly believe in the idea that, if a tutee does not understand a concept, it is my fault for not having conveyed the concept effectively and in concrete terms. Tutoring sessions should be stress-free to allow for real learning to occur. My most favorite subjects to tutor include Organic Chemistry, Biology, General Chemistry, and Basic Math....

...have realized that the best way to ace tests and classes is by being confident. This is only possible if we understand the concepts rather than memorizing (especially in subjects such as math and science). Whenever I tutor, I always aim to build strong personal relationships with my students by listening and communicating with them. I try to personalize learning to suits each student's learning-style and teach to their strengths to make them more confident,...

Also, I would add listening to live music, playing and watching soccer, and collecting records to that list. At the end of...

...conducted were one-on-one but I also tutored a number of group sessions for General Chemistry. Before an appointment with a student, I prefer to find out what topic the student is covering in their class and where the student is struggling.

Not everyone learns in the same way and sometimes we just need things explained a in a way that we can better understand them even if it's the second or third time we're hearing about it. It's important to provide each student with the means to further their education. I think that improving their study skills and providing them with different tools to help them make sure they understand the material is...

...utilize a practice-forward approach to instruction; I believe that the top-heavy approaches taken by large companies and given in group classes overburden students with strategies and bring needless complexity to an already complex test. My approach, instead, is guided feedback tailored to a student's weaker points based on 1-on1 assessment. Rather than sit and listen to me lecture for 2 hours, the students will drill problem sets under my supervision and receive explanations and mini...
