What I want more than anything is to impart that sense of fulfillment to others. Whether I am teaching in a classroom, tutoring difficult concepts, showing my daughter how to tie her shoes, or just interacting with those in my daily life, I live for those "ah-ha!" moments...

...Organic Chemistry because I find it intriguing. It's like a visual puzzle and reactions are the steps to solve it. I believe any person can learn any subject; it just has to be explained in the way that they need to hear it. It's the Teacher's job to figure out how to get through. I love explaining things in a visual manner because that's what makes the most sense to me as a learner. As...

...lack mastery of, particularly the basics (such as arithmetic), and add extra review on those subjects, even if it isn't required. I find creating a safe, learning environment with the student essential, especially so that reviewing things that a student feels "they should have known already" doesn't feel embarrassing or reprimanding. When I'm not busy with school or work, I enjoy spending my time with friends watching TV/movies and cooking/eating good food. I am a...

...that subject at will. Not only do I enjoy conveying mathematics to students, but I am also interested in how mathematics is interpreted. Since tutoring frees students from concerns about how they are perceived by their peers, it can provide a clearer understanding of how they interpret the mathematics that is presented to them. This creates the opportunity for more effective instruction. When I'm not in the world of mathematics, I'm hiking in the wilderness,...

...an early age I always loved math and, unlike many of my classmates, took a great pleasure in being introduced to new topics. I like to describe math as a sort of puzzle. Each piece builds off of something else, creating a more complete picture. It's therefore always important to have a solid grasp of the basics - to understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses...

...find economics fascinating and really enjoy talking about the science of the US economy. During college, I spent a year studying in Argentina and came to love South American culture.

In high school, I enjoyed Algebra and Calculus, and I am most confident tutoring these subjects. I...

...just learn how to apply formulas and do well on tests. Although they may get good grades, this will be useless later in life. In my teaching experience, when students actually learn the concepts and logic, not only does their math vastly improve, but they also learn to enjoy math, which is the ultimate goal. My qualifications include excelling at all high school math competitions including finishing second at the 1989 Colorado Math Olympiad. I...

...who went on to attend great institutions, as well, for their professional and graduate degrees. I am also a native Mandarin Chinese speaker.
