I strongly believe in learning by doing. I have never given a lecture or taught something 1on1 without providing practice problems or peppering students with questions. The hardest part about this is getting students to understand that it is okay to ask and answer questions. Most students I have encountered are used to simply looking at the teacher but never really interacting with them. If I ask a question and nobody gets it, I rephrase it, reteach the section that led up to the question and generally try to understand why the question is not being answered. Aside from some initial amount of memorization, students need to learn how to think through concepts and ideas, and the best way to do that, regardless of subject, is ask them things.
As a rising junior at Cornell University, I was asked to TA a Chemistry course for engineers. I accepted and entered into my first teaching posi ... read more

An effective tutor is one who is able to help the student identify their strengths and weakness and then work with the student to increase their understanding, thereby reinforcing their strong points and building strength on weak points. In order to accomplish this, I maintain a very relaxed, comfortable tutoring area so that the student feels completely comfortable discussing their academic strengths and weaknesses. With this trust established, I drive my tutor sessions with questions enabling the student to tell me what they know (or don't know) so that I'm not the one talking the whole time. It is a teacher's job to lecture; it is a tutor's job to build understanding. This understanding is developed through question answering and discussion between the student and the tutor.
I have worked as a tutor throughout my undergraduate career and also for a part of my high school career ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite varied, and I have experience writing scientific papers, laboratory reports, research papers, and essays. Last fall, I taught an English class to adults in Mahahual, Mexico where I was volunteering.
I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the ... read more

My level of academic excellence has led me to pursue a career in teaching. I have earned two degrees, AFA in Vocal Performance and BA in religion and philosophy which has demonstrated and expanded my experience, knowledge, and ability in the areas of fine and liberal arts. I have extensive understanding of grammatical skills due to my experience writing research and analytical essays and grading essays written by my students on a wide variety of topics. My time in college was spent tutoring students in history, math, science, English, psychology, French, Greek, and the arts. As a teacher I worked with students individually as well as in the classroom. In addition to academic training, I have instructed students in voice, guitar, acting, and piano both formally and informally over the last six years.
