...relies on personal, one-on-one apprenticeship in order to train the next generation of researchers and explorers. On the other hand, learning science (learning anything, in fact) is best done with context in mind; if you can sufficiently teach someone, especially a layperson, the subject matter that you are studying, then you know that you got it! I have been teaching for five years not only because it is helpful in giving back to the community,...

My goal in tutoring is to ease the stress that frequently occurs when a student encounters...

...in Chemistry and Statistics. Last year I was a mentor for at-risk teens at our local middle school. I really enjoyed the experience.

I would describe my teaching style as encouraging while also challenging the student to come up with...

...positive results and outcome of the student. I believe mathematics has suffered as an attractive discipline by failing to be inclusive of mathematicians and students of all races, ethnicities, genders, personalities, and socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. In my capacity as a tutor, I hope to help students overcome their internal stereotypes of "Math is a black beast, and I have never been good at it," and discover their own abilities. To this end, I believe...
