Experience Summary
Over the last five years, while being a graduate student and Teaching Assistant, I have gained many valuable insights about teaching. I have taught both calculus-based and algebra-based courses for a wide scope of students. I have even lectured a course for half a semester during summer sessions. I have earned a MS and BS in Physics, which has given me the understanding of many topics of math and physics. I have spent hundreds of hours in a free-for-all tutoring area, called the "Help Center" at my previous University, helping students with problem solving and understanding course material.
Teaching Style
I believe that any student is capable of learning and solving physics problems by their self. Whenever students ask me how to solve a problem I never give them a direct answer. I ask leading questions in order to steer them on the track to figuring out by themselves each step towards solving the problem. Sometimes I will solve a similar problem, if the student is still struggling. Physics problems can be some of the most difficult to solve and I believe that the best way to become proficient at solving them is to do as many problems as possible.
