...adults alike view school or learning as something to suffer through for a distant goal in the future (a “no pain no gain” mindset), their willpower eventually wears thin in times of stress and hardship. Teaching people to like to learn and succeed in a way that works for them gives them a value that lasts throughout life. I feel that I have been successful in teaching this message to my students in the past,...

...to address them. I recognize that to be a tutor one has to be flexible and open to connect with the student first, to listen and figure out what things I can actually help them with. It is always my goal to help students understand concepts and problem solving strategies themselves, so that they can tackle and solve their problems and assignments themselves. I love when the students who come to me have their "Eureka!"...

...knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading...

...these same students struggled in other subjects; in math they struggled to read word problems and in science they struggled to write their lab results. Working with these students gave me first-hand experience at how to help students strengthen their comprehension without hurting their confidence.

Without reading...

...most people go to school for about 17 years of their life. It's nearly impossible for one student to master each and every subject they are taught while in school, and I have a clear understanding of that. I strongly believe that everyone learns differently, so it's crucial for a tutor to be adaptable and to be able to approach a subject with many angles. I also think that patience is key - everyone learns...
