"I am here as a tutor because I love the opportunity to help any student grasp concepts that are difficult or intimidating. I do this by presenting and iterating through material in a tailored way that makes topics simpler and more relatable for each student’s learning style. Often, during tutoring sessions I will use colored pens on blank printer paper to visually engage the student by presenting diagrams and outlining key points. After the session the student can keep these sheets as a reference and a refresher that can continue to help them beyond the session time.

I have tutored fellow students in my math and science classes throughout my academic career and had the experience of seeing what teaching and learning styles work best in preparation for classes and for different standardized tests—including the ACT, SAT, AP Exams, and the MCAT.

I am here to help students transform math and science, subjects that can seem like obstacles between them and their goals, into to tools to help them get there.

Sincerely,

Corban S.

P.S. A bit about me:

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Ed Boyden. I have enjoyed learning and understanding math and science my whole life. I also enjoy doing photography and spoken word poetry in my free time." less...
