...year since then. I'm interested in sharing introductory coding and math skills with people in communities that wouldn't necessarily get them in the education system, especially as tools to further activist work.

Now having performed in the upper 10% of all...

...to make the tutee develop a full understanding of the material, as opposed to only showing him or her how to answer a question correctly. I also try to make myself available whenever possible.

...on neuroscience and biomedical science from Northern Arizona University. As long as I can remember, I have had a love for teaching. In elementary school I would come home in the afternoon and 'play school' with my stuffed animals, creating and grading worksheets for them.

...enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my free time playing and listening to music. I love most genres, but...

...statistics, literature, and any social science class. I had a great experience with learning in school and hope to share that with other students. My goal is to make every student feel good about him or herself and feel confident about learning. Not every student learns the same way and I think that makes learning even more important. If we all had the same view point life would be boring and new discoveries would never...

I began with private tutoring sessions, then worked with Kumon Learning Center, and most recently I tutored college students with learning and cognitive disorders at the UofA.
