An intellectual and goofy tutor looking to help out.

I don't any paid, professional tutoring experience. However, I have volunteered my services to family members and friends. During my sophomore year, I took Organic Chemistry and excelled. However, my friends were struggling. They hated me a bit for how easy it came to me. I decided to tutor them and help them with homework assignments and studying. They ended up doing very well on the exams, allowing them to secure a 3.0 or higher in the course. I also had to regular help my classmates out with more complex problems in Physics. I was not so much tutoring as working together with them on the homework, but still, it involved clear explanation and a thorough knowledge of the subject matter.
I always liked playing up my quirky personality. My favorite teachers and professors were the goofy ones, the ones who can relate to the students' fun side. These teachers also challenged me the ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My preferred method of teaching is hands-on, through real experiments. Unfortunately, experiments cannot always be done, so I use lots of illustrations and age-appropriate analogies that are easy to relate to. Many times students are convinced that science is a subject too difficult to conquer, that they must just survive it, but science is all around us. I strive for that "a-ha" moment when a student realizes that all biological and physiological processes are interrelated and that the trick to understanding science is to build on previously learned concepts. I believe that teaching solid fundamentals and relating more difficult topics to already learned information is key to helping students thoroughly understand the subject.
Throughout my undergraduate years, I was recognized as an outstanding student and held the maximum number of teaching assistant positions every semester ... read more

I enjoy the satisfaction tutoring brings me, but the satisfaction comes when I am successful in conveying knowledge. I feel I am a successful tutor because I take the time to get to know the student and I immediately get work on the weaknesses and amplify their strengths. I believe every student has the ability to succeed, so I explain the important principles over and over through different media and methods, until the student understands. Over the years I have learnt that patience is a very important trait needed for a successful tutoring experience. Therefore, This has made me a better tutor.
I recently graduated University of Texas with a BA in biology. Becasuse of this I have a strong background in science. I have also been involved in biochemistry research, specifically trying to create immunocontraceptives for rodents. In order to be effective researcher it was necessary for ... read more
