More About This Tutor...

My teaching style varies, depending on what the individual student needs, but it is always driven by an enthusiasm and verve for education (particularly in science) that I have been told is infectious (not a great thing to say to a biologist, but it's the thought that counts). Learning is most effective when the learner understands the importance of the material to their interests and the world around them. As such, one of my priorities when teaching is finding the relevance of the subject to the student and examining the concepts in the student's context. I tend to shy away from rote memorization, preferring active learning techniques and exercises that develop critical thinking skills, but I am flexible, depending on the student's abilities and response.
I am an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who has been active in the field for over a decade. I have been a profess ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been a mathematics and science tutor for the last ten years. As a former mathematics educator at the college level I feel that mathematics or any other science is possible to be learned and comprehended by the student through the use of real life examples. Moreover, in my time as a math and science tutor I always asked my students to devote patience and perseverance whenever they are starting to learn a new concept.
I like teaching and tutoring students in mathematics and science. I always believe that science and mathematics require innovation and creativity to fully understand the concepts. Throughout my years of teaching and tutoring I have developed effective techniques to make an immediate in a student's learning.
