Experience Summary
As my degree shows, I have a very well-rounded academic background. My collective eighteen years of studying language has instilled in me a deep comprehension of syntax and grammar as well as an appreciation for language and literature. I am confident in my abilities doing work in English as well as French and Latin. I am especially adept at argumentative essays. My studies in Chemistry have given me, above all, an organized approach to any undertaking. My diverse academic career provided me with experience in numerous languages, chemistry and physics, as well as advanced maths. I am currently tutoring an high school student in pre-calculus.
Teaching Style
The major benefit of a one-on-one tutoring environment is that a student can be taught in the manner which best suits their personal learning style. I believe it is imperative to identify a student's preferred learning style and to adapt my teaching accordingly. When working with a student, I prefer to allow the student to work through a problem and discover the answers themselves, while I guide and instruct them, instead of merely showing them. While grades and test scores are obviously important, it is my main goal to increase a student's confidence in a subject. With confidence comes ease and familiarity, and an ability to apply knowledge critically. I hope that the skills I teach my students will aid them in all their endeavors.
