Hey! My name is Ethan and I've been tutoring for several years now. I got my start tutoring while pursuing my Associate's Degree at the County College of Morris, where I began tutoring local high school students in a wide array of subjects, though they were predominately AP/IB Biology or English classes. Particularly with Biology many of these concepts can be quite difficult to understand at first, so I find one of my strengths is in how I can slowly and gradually build up information to make the whole easier to understand.
Upon finishing my Associate's degree I left to teach English in Austria where I garnered over 380 hours of in-class teaching time. I taught mostly 12-14 year old students and had success getting them to write, read, and speak English considerably better than when I first met them. This experience helped me learn how to convey and properly teach hard concepts and ideas, as well as how to know when a student actually understands something or perhaps they're just nodding their head because they want to move on to the next lesson. After my time in Austria I left to Belgium where I worked as a live-in au pair and tutor for a teenager who had a learning disability. My time in Belgium thoroughly helped me become a far more patient and understanding tutor, as well as helping me become more adept at seeing when a student is struggling with a particular concept or idea. I take a variety of approaches in how I tutor, always trying to best fit the way a student in particular learns best. Now at McGill University I have continued to tutor, though this time at the peer level, usually tutoring other college students in my related field or in statistics and history.
I've taken a wide variety of math and probability/statistics courses up and through the college level
My Associate's degree had an emphasis in cognitive science which heavily focused on both psychology as well as biology and anatomy, and I consider myself to know these subjects well.
Writing is my strongest skill- after having taught E
