Teaching Style
I am passionate about teaching the natural sciences to students and others who wish to learn. I have been in situations in both my undergraduate and graduate experiences were I have had to mentor and provide assistance to students in a number of ways, including tutoring. These experiences have developed me into a patient and understanding person, which is how I would describe my teaching style.I understand the difficulties that students may face when trying to grasp difficult concepts and that some students may require more time in order to comprehend these concepts, especially scientific concepts. I am dedicated, when teaching, to ensuring that the student understand the concept that I am teaching and its application.
