A Little Bit About Me...

My first experience as a teacher came in high school when I held a part-time job at a Kumon Math and Reading Center. As an undergraduate student at Columbia University I held several after school tutoring positions, some paid and some volunteer. Upon graduation I decided to join Teach For America. For the past year and a half I have been teaching high school mathematics in rural Hawaii while concurrently pursuing a master of education in teaching degree from the University of Hawaii. Next fall I will be entering the MBA program at the MIT Sloan School of Management, but I will always remain interested in teaching.
I would describe my teaching style as simple and laid back. I pride myself on my ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that allows students to focus on learning. In addition, many of my high school students, as well as peer teachers who I have tutored for t ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an MIT graduate, I was particularly driven to excel in science and mathematics courses so as to be able to apply these to engineering and technology problems. I subsequently obtained two doctorate degrees: one in medicine and the second in law. I am currently working on the development and patenting of medical devices to improve medical care for patients. I have always loved teaching and tutoring and have done it for many years to supplement my income. My students tell me that I can explain the material in a very understandable way.
I really love teaching and finding different ways of using analogies and similarities to explain difficult concepts. I have been very successful in teaching the sciences and mathematics courses in an understandable way. I believe that everyone is capable of learning the material, it simply needs to be presented in the correct way. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from Haverford College with a double major in physics and astronomy, I worked for three years as an astrophysics researcher at NASA and Harvard University. In 2000, I became a teacher and a tutor. Since that time, I have taught children of all ages and adults in a wide variety of subjects. From 2002-2003, I designed and taught my own courses in physics and Calculus at the Academy at Charlemont. From 2004-2006, I completed a two year graduate program in physics education at the University of California, Berkeley. I gathered extensive experience student teaching at urban schools in the Bay Area and participated in two research groups. For my Master's thesis, I developed a curriculum to teach modern physics at the high school level using computer technology and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities. Since the fall of 2006, I have been working in public schools in Bo ... read more

More About This Tutor...

As an educator there are a variety of beliefs which I hold that make up my personal philosophy of education and style of teaching. I strongly believe in maximizing a student's potential by having them discover their strengths and weaknesses. As an educator, especially at the elementary and middle school levels, it is important to guide each student as much as possible to help them find their strengths so they can have a successful and positive learning experience. I realize that all students learn differently because of these individual strengths and weaknesses, and it is necessary for me to implement a variety of pedagogy in all content areas.
I feel I am qualified to be a tutor due to my current and previous teaching experiences in elementary and middle school, as well as, the successful completion of hands-on educational courses in History, Math, Language Arts, and Science fr ... read more
