Experience Summary
I have had a broad range of working and academic experiences. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2002 with a degree in Computer Information Systems. Upon graduation I moved back to the Philadelphia area and began working as a software engineer. After a few years and an intense personal experience, I went back to school at Rutgers U. – Camden and finished up post-bacc pre-med requirements and gained admittance to medical school. I worked over 2 years in the Rutgers U. – Camden Dept of Physics as a T.A. and research technician. I teach recitation, lecture sometimes, and I tutor the General Physics subject matter. I do, in fact, enjoy the philosophy and mathematics of physics and find teaching/tutoring both rewarding and challenging.
Teaching Style
The subjects that I have taught/tutored I find interesting and therefore are enjoyable to me. I try to convey my interest in the material to the student(s) that I am involved with. I have found success when the student begins to like the subject matter and any aversions he/she may have had start to fade. When working with the student, I also make sure that he/she gets involved immediately and works on their own instead of watching me perform. That way, the student retains more and can complete work at the most important times, during exams, when I am not present.
