A Little Bit About Me...

I do not consider myself a teacher but a helper. In my experience, the Socratic method in which I pose probing questions that unlock the student's knowledge is the strongest approach. A student's retention of the material is strongest when the student can teach it, and that's what I aim for. I break down any material the student doesn't understand into terms that are easier to comprehend. Preparedness is expected on the part of the student. I am not a substitute for independent study, and the sessions should not consist of doing homework. I am a resource best used when students have an understanding of what they do need help with.
I have four years of experience as a tutor that I obtained throughout my college experience. Tutoring is a personal joy of mine as I witness students who I've worked with succeed in their academics. It has been the most fulfilling job I've had, and ... read more

Math and Science Lover!

I believe that different students learn in different ways. In a classroom setting I varied instruction in order to reach all types of learners. In a one-on-one setting I can focus on how that specific student learns the best.
I've instructed students in high school chemistry and physical science for six years. I began teaching as a Teach for America corps member. I am accomplished in developing and implementing activities to stimulate and enhance student involvement and encourage critical thinking. ? Monitoring and assessing student performance.

I love tutoring and mentoring kids, period. It's spiriturally rewarding to me as an adult to have a part in a child's development. I believe every child is special. There's is no doubt in my mind that if a tutor approach is based on patience, quality time and empathy, he or she will be successful and effective. The latter mentioned characteristics has always been viewed by me as the hallmarks of tutoring. I have worked for years with the brightest and those who just need the right approach to learning to become the brightest. Tutoring children is a job you have to love doing because it requires passion and understanding. I understand the amazing change that can immediately take place in a child's life when their instructor (tutor) expresses passion and concern in their development and future.

As a graduate student at Rice University, I taught labs for the undergraduate students and was also an exam grader. Furthermore, upon the completion of my doctorate degree in physics, I taught physics for six and a half years at the university level. Following this, I taught mathematics on the high school level and have been a tutor on the high school and middle school level. Thus, I have several years of experience in a teaching or tutoring capacity. As an undergraduate, I completed my degree with a 3.5 grade point average and had all A's and B's during my graduate education.
My teaching motto is simple, practice makes perfect. The more you practice solving physics problems the easier it gets. Furthermore, I believe if one is having a tough time solving the problems, one must understand the physical concepts and be comfortable with the mathematics required to solve the problems.

A Little Bit About Me...

I strongly support the belief that all children are capable of learning if given sufficient opportunity. As a classroom teacher often facing as many as 37 students at one time, it was difficult to provide the appropriate learning environment for many of these children's needs. Through small group tutoring, however, the right learning environment can be created if the tutor fosters a positive relationship with the student. Developing such a relationship requires considerable patience and consistency on the part of the tutor. Creating such an atmosphere allows the struggling student to expect a reliable mentor to assist her with her studies, while best permitting me to work with the student according to his or her needs.

As a professional with a diverse career, I am highly motivated and empathetic to the needs of all children. I am currently a Special Education teacher, and I know that all students can learn. I personally want your child to be a successful lifetime learner. I am patient, considerate, and compassionate. My goal is to ensure your child's learning within a nuturing environment. To become a lifetime learner, it is a process that is best acquired through discovery. I believe that for mastery of an objective, learning has to be personal experience and provoke the curiousity of students. All students can learn, but it has to be personalized. I will continue to find creative approaches to find the best method of making learning a success.

I am an enthusiastic person by nature. I love meeting with students and learning from them as they learn from me. I believe this establishes a relationship based on mutual respect, which is highly conducive to learning. I am also a firm believer in engaging students in critical thinking, and having them walk me through their thought process, which would allow me to not only see how they learn, but also improve upon it.
As someone who is pursuing a PhD in epidemiology, I have a passion for teaching, mentoring, and reaching out to students. I expect excellence from students because I invest 100% of my time and effort into their learning experience. I also hold an MPH in public health and a BS in Biology.
