"Don't fall behind during difficult times.

Growth comes from continuous progress.

“How can you not understand?” “...And you can figure out the rest for yourself” “What’s there to be confused about?” “It’s obvious that...”—Have you ever been told any of these in your class? I’ve heard these complaints from students time and time again. While completing my undergraduate work at the University of Arizona in Tucson—where I’m majoring in physics, mathematics, and business administration—I’ve tried to help as many other students as possible. I’m incredibly passionate about these subjects and love to help others improve their understanding. Though learning the raw facts may be nice, I prefer to focus on understanding the deeper ideas within a subject: where did this come from?, why do this instead of that?, what is the reason for having that? I am very calm and patient, and truly believe in the improvement of my students, not in simply repeating material when the student is already confused.

I have many years tutoring in each of physics, mathematics, and business. With a year’s experience in our schools CATS Academics tutoring service, I’ve helped many athletes from a variety of backgrounds boost their grades, understanding, and confidence. I also have two semesters’ experience as a registered preceptor in introductory physics courses. The first was holding office hours in an education emphasis classroom. The second was working in close collaboration with student groups during recitations to offer extra aid. Beyond these opportunities, I have tutored my peers for several years. It is very fulfilling. I love helping students not only improve their work, but to help them to see the subjects in a better light and to understand a little bit more about the world. A great plus is that tutoring deepens my own understanding and gives me new perspective as well. Math and science are not just about arcane rules and mysterious shortcut" less...
