My name is Edan, and I am a recent PhD graduate. During my doctoral program, I researched novel materials for renewable energy application using computational software. Prior to entering the PhD program, I completed a Bachelors in Physics (summa cum laude) with a minor in Mathematics. Throughout my education, I maintained a top-of-the-class rank by honing my knowledge in self-organized study groups, and by providing private tutoring for previous courses. I transferred to university from community college, where I studied computer science with a focus on web development and database programming. I used these skills during the rest of my education, especially during my doctoral years to improve the efficiency of research. During that time, I also provided tutoring for programming courses. I have since completed several online certifications to enforce and enhance my programming skills.
In the last three years of my doctoral program, I worked part time at my old community college as an instructional associate, where I tutored physics and math. I also worked as an SAT tutor for small groups (5-10) of disadvantaged youth as part of a non-profit organization. After graduating, I began tutoring online. Nowadays, I focus primarily on Python tutoring, as I find it most satisfying for both parties. I consistently receive 5-star reviews with comments regarding my ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms using effective examples. I credit my patience and attentiveness to a solid recollection of the stress that comes with being a student. I'm thus able to put myself in a student's position and predict and/or encourage sound questions.
To me, the best part of being a tutor is the interactive problem solving that I foster in my sessions. For this reason, I encourage participation and celebrate input. I enjoy most seeing the progression in my students' understanding taking shape both as sharper questions, and quicker, more accurate solutions.
