...that most people with these subjects from my experiences helping my classmates. I believe the biggest obstacle people have with these subjects is the fact that math and science often relies on abstract ideas that are seen as purely logical. My top strategy is to put the abstract back into reality. To make far out there mathematical theory something that you can visualize and relate to. I often use metaphors and analogies to explain the...

Hi! My name is Blake. I'm a third-year student at the University of Arizona. I'm a member of the Honors College, and I'm one year away from earning my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. An important part of my education has been learning to collaborate and to work with others to solve problems. I'd like to do the same with you! My primary tutoring subjects are algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus.

...patience for people who "don't get it." I have tutored and instructed, formally and informally, since I was in middle school. My own experience with learning is that if I do not understand something, repetition will not help me; I need to come at it from a different angle. For example, I rarely learn from spoken word; I have trained myself to visualize what people are saying while they are saying it, which has helped...

I just graduated with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from University of New Mexico. I'm a postdoc now at University of Arizona where I teach undergraduate and graduate students. My research is on application of peridynamics to multiphysics problems. I love working with kids and teaching. I would like to become a professor eventually.

...currently tutor math from middle school Algebra up through Calculus I, Physics, Biology and Ecology. I started tutoring after completing a class covering various tutoring strategies and methodologies my sophomore year through the UofA's Center for Recruitment and Retention of Mathematics Teachers. During this course I was mentored by two high school teachers who had me help during their classes. This experience gave me a good base for designing lessons and introduced me to common...

...on probability and statistics. From 2014-2016, I worked as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for the Math 100 program at the U of A. Most importantly though, I get along really well with everyone and I am finding out that I truly am passionate about education! Also besides my weird characteristic of enjoying math, I otherwise a completely normal person! I like to read and write and hang out with my friends and family.

...I understand the difficulty that students face when learning a new subject. I believe that finding a way to relate to the subject that you're trying to learn, increases your ability to absorb new information. I want to pass along the "tricks of the trade," that I have learned over the years, to help other students succeed. Learning a new subject should be exciting and empowering. Developing skills to tackle any problem you encounter, is...

...problem is as satisfying as piecing together a puzzle. There are a million and one ways to solve it, but there is only one right answer. Solving a problem not only requires logic and patience, but creativity and curiosity. Students know all-too-well how easily their creativity and curiosity are crushed when dealing with a difficult math problem. When I see students getting frustrated with the rigidity of math, I try to help them relish in...

...road, where I first did poorly in math and then learned how to study the subject and where difficulties really come from, and turned that into success. It is these lessons I have used to create curricula for math classes, and I use them to tutor students.

...Mathematics courses. Calculus, however, is my favorite subject to tutor, as it marked the point in my academic career where I began to actually enjoy math. My tutoring style is one that values fundamental understanding and critical thinking. I would rather a student walk away with a deeper understanding of their material, rather than a list of memorized steps. On a more personal note, when I am not pursuing math and science, I spend my...
