...always endeavor to bring this creativity into anything I do. I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime."

I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering.

My...

My obsession is philosophy, which as a kind of over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit.

I love to be challenged with hard questions, and even if I don't have an answer ready, I will undoubtedly research,...

...and Southeast Asia for 1 year (Indonesia, Thailand, China, HK and Singapore). I tell you this because it has enriched my life in so many ways, including how I approach teaching both the non-native English speaker who wants and needs to learn better English; the native English speaker who may struggle with grammar and professional, business or formal writing (college students, new graduates, etc.); and the English speaker who simply wants to learn and/or improve...

...encouragement. A lack of confidence at test time can be devastating. I watch a student solve problems and take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having the student work through lots of problems with careful prompting to get them used to thinking on their feet. I'm also a...
