A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching style varies with the subject. For math, I derive how to arrive at the answer without memorizing a process. Once the student has grasped a concept, I provide examples of varying 'difficulty' to show how to use the concept (the student should be able to apply it regardless of the problem’s complexity). With respect to science, visuals are key. Biology can be taught using models/diagrams representing various systems. Chemistry, though, requires a more hands-on approach. Teachers should guide students to the answers, allowing students to learn the most by creating their own diagrams/models. Every student learns differently, so it is necessary to discover how each student learns. Consequently, I tweak my style to suit his/her needs.
Since my sophomore year of high school, I have been helping my peers in subjects related to science and math. I helped the biology teachers cre ... read more

My teaching style is a mixture of many elements. The first thing I do is to make students enthusiastic about their studies. To give subtle motivation and build interest, I make the topic applicable to a person’s life. The next step is to work on confidence. You have to help students see that it is possible to overcome personal difficulties with specific subjects. To do this, I focus on each learner’s strengths and break topics down into manageable parts. I ask the questions that will direct each student to make connections on their own. As frustration is an inevitable part of learning for struggling students, I always remain flexible and ready to try a new tactic when necessary.
As a teacher’s assistant for photography in high school, I realized that I had a natural aptitude for teaching and breaking subjects down into manageable parts. In college, I was the person that othe ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy making the ancient world come alive to students, whether they are in elementary school or adults. Because learning Latin is a challenging endeavor, it provides ample opportunity to help the learner develop better study skills and therefore more confidence in themselves as a learner, which I believe is helpful to students as they make their way in life no matter where it takes them. I enjoy taking a complex grammatical point, and breaking it down so that the student fully understands it and it is no longer a mysterious or illogical fact of language. I approach teaching Latin with the belief that we are all learners, and that Latin is continually revealing its secrets to both me as a teacher and the student as a learner; often I find new ways to understand an aspect of the language or the culture through finding ways to explain it to the student, and in doing so the student helps t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience in tutoring began in high school when I volunteered for my local library, in a program aimed towards improving students’ reading ability. Having had considerable difficulty learning to read myself, I felt it was important that I attempt to pass this on to others. When I entered Knox College I was focusing on English, and ended up helping my fellow students with writing and editing their papers.
I have always sought to lead rather than force something upon the student by rote. Most important is to present the information in a way that is both interesting and memorable. It is my experience that people remember things better when they truly understand the process, and have reason to listen to the explanation.
