Experience Summary
I have spent most of my formative and adult years learning, and then helping others to learn from the knowledge I have gained. My first job at age 15 was working in a computer assistance program which helped children and adults with severe disabilities become proficient with computer technology. Later I was promoted to both train new hires and outreach students, as well as manage and train fellow employees in the technology used in the workplace. In University I helped tutor lower division students in the Physics curriculum through the University tutoring program.
During my education to gain a BS in Physics I have built a solid foundation in Math, and Sciences, and helping others grasp those concepts as well.
Teaching Style
I am a fan of teaching people who are eager and willing to learn. If a person actually wants to learn, then the trick is merely to be patient, build up a persons confidence, and try as many angles as possible until you find the right one that clicks with how they best learn and are able to understand.
Fundamental to the learning process however is in having a student actually do for themselves, rather than merely watch someone else, and work through the steps in a supportive environment. I also believe that people learn more from their mistakes than from their successes.
