Although my educational background has shaped the subjects I teach, my tutoring experience with multiple college organizations has shaped my teaching methods.

...younger students about how being wrong helps us to learn and find the right. Once students started to incorporate this into their mentality, tutoring sessions would suddenly become just casual conversations because my students were basically teaching and motivating themselves.

I also have assisted students with college applications, admission essays, and improving their study skills. I worked as an Admission's Mentor my senior year and can provide insights into college...

...that will explain the “why.” In my own learning I find I can grasp issues better by breaking them up into small, manageable steps and concepts, so this is what I strive for in helping others as well. I find this approach tends to lead to a deeper understanding so students are able to recognize and navigate similar topics in the future rather than merely the problem at hand. Along similar lines, I like to...

...more sense" than the way their actual teacher described. As I tutored fellow classmates, I discovered that I had a knack for not just teaching, but warming up to and befriending students. I did not think of tutoring as a relationship between student and tutor, but as a friendship where both the student and I can grow as individuals.
