I have over 3 years of teaching experience at both the high school and university level. Throughout my experiences, I have interacted with different types of students, from students with learning difficulties to students who just need a small ounce of motivation to reach their potential. As a student myself, I didn't have the best study habits through my first 2 years of college and although I did decent, I knew I was never working to my full potential. During my teaching opportunities over the past 3 years, I have seen alot of students who are bright and very capable, but don't know where to start. My personal philosophy doesn't focus on the material itself, but rather with the skills associated with comprehending that material. Being able to understand something is a very valuable skill because once it becomes a habit, learning becomes possible and more tolerable. I also believe it is important to give students real-world applications which relate to the subject they are studying because it puts what they are learning into perspective. Learning can only start if certain skills are developed and a strong foundation is built.

I have chosen the subjects which I have the strongest foundation in. Much of my expertise lies in the sciences ( anatomy/physiology, biology, chemistry, physics). In any of the sciences, math is always present so I also feel I am very capable of tutoring math.

I offer great versatility when it comes to teaching. I will do my best to gear my teaching style to the student's learning ability. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

• general computer

  I initially started out as a computer science major at my university because of my strong interest and proficiency with computers. I also took programming classes in high school which required a great amount of proficiency in computers. Last summer I conducted research at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I had to set up various data capturing machinery to a computer and also had to debug any problems that would arise. I had to use Microsoft Office applicatoins, mostly Microsoft Excel to record and compute data calculations. I believe my various experiences and background in computers make me qualified to teach general computers.

• study skills

  I have worked with many different students in my 3 years of teaching. Through my interactions with these students, I have learned various study skills that have helped them, which I have added to my own repertoire. I have also tried various study skills during my own college career and have found the ones that work best for me. Because of my trial and error with various study skills during my own coursework and the skills I have acquired from interacting with other students make me capable of teaching this subject.
