For my hobbies, I can do anything and everything that can keep me busy...

...also sometimes end up conceptualizing concepts in a different or more fundamental way than I did previously, which leads me to understand the subject more deeply even while I am tutoring it. I try to tutor in a way that involves asking the student questions and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply them to novel situations rather than depending on...

Hello! I am a fourth year Physiology and Neuroscience major at UC San Diego. I enjoy teaching students and would like to help students improve with subjects in school and standardized tests. I have a strong background in Biology, Chemistry, Math, and standardized tests like SAT.

I am able to explain the concepts clearly and accurately. My...

...Throughout my education, I have learned ways to make the material accessible to students with various learning styles and needs. I also taught two years in a private school to students from 5th-12th grades for Algebra 1, Geometry, Precalculus and Calculus.

...as different approaches to achieve comprehension of study material. As a tutor, I find that I try to find and optimize a student's preferred approach to learning, as it is usually the one that helps a student learn the most in the fastest amount of time possible for them.

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Physics, and Biology as I find these subjects fascinating both in and out of the classroom. My tutoring style involves breaking complex subjects down into smaller fractions and slowly building up to the whole concept, which is quite effective. Additionally, I try to relate...

...topic from the ground up. Many people get discouraged from math because they see it as a large set of rules and equations that they have to memorize, when really it can make sense on a much simpler, fundamental level. I have experience teaching at a YMCA summer camp and have tutored my younger sister throughout the years. Some of my hobbies include piano, drums, rock climbing, computer programming, and hanging out with my two...
