Math and Science Problem Solving For All Experience Levels

- Port Matilda , Pennsylvania ( 16870 )
- 15 miles
Throughout my education, I’ve tried a lot of study strategies. I’ve found that what works best for me is not reading or lectures, but conversation. That knowledge is what informs my tutoring approach. I talk to my students until I can focus down to the core of their understanding, then I build out until they have a confident grasp on the material. I began tutoring as an undergraduate at the University of Rochester, where I worked as a Teaching Assistant for some introductory geology courses. ... Read more

I am the son of a teacher, and have tutored friends and peers while in high school, college and also after college. Both having a teacher for a mother and also working with friends has reinforced the following reality: teachers are people too. These experiences taught me that the teacher is a friend or a partner in the challenge of attaining new knowledge. Accordingly, I want students to conquer unknown material by acquiring knowledge facilitated by my energetic, fun, patient, persistent, ... Read more
