Methods
Helping students learn, grow, and achieve their greatest academic potential.
With over 10 years of experience as an educator, 7 years of experience as a scientist in industry, and a recent graduate (SFSU, 2023), I believe in the importance of giving back and preparing the next generation of leaders.
Working with students, there is no “one size fits all” methods when it come to tutoring. Each student requires a different approach or a combination of approaches to master the subject they are struggling with.
However, the following is my approach, which I then modify when I work with my students:

Go over what the concerns are and how to mitigate them.

Review general concepts where needed
Go into greater detail when needed
Acquire resources to enhance learning efficacy
What I do not modify is the following:
Having confidence in my student’s ability and being available for questions
