Today's society is driven by innovation
and productivity. In other words, STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)
are more important than ever before.
Juggling school, family and social engagements
is a lot for anybody... something has to give...
and often, this something is school work
put off until...
Sometimes, a little 'pick-me-up' is required
to stay on top of your game.
I BIO
tutor/teach, in person or online, students of all ages and walks
of life, from elementary- through high
school & college to homeschoolers and
adult learners in 1-on-1 settings, small
groups or classrooms.
The objectives are deeper understanding, assimilation &
becoming a problem solver. These are key to doing well in any subject.
Hoarding knowledge/facts without understanding
the 'Why and How'
is like getting into your car without starting
the engine... you're not going anywhere... fast!
In fact, the only thing you've accomplished is
adding more tension and pressure to this
already stressful situation. This will quickly
turn into a hard to escape, most vicious cycle of stress, prograstination and avoidance.
Once you're stuck in this cycle, your confidence meter drops into the single digits.
This lack of believe in your own abilities can easily cascade throughout all academic subjects,
causing your grade point average to plummet and now the disaster is complete.
It is best to nip any rough spots in the bud as soon as they occur.
Smart people will work on figuring things out themselves, but smart people also know, that once you
hit the proverbial brickwall, it's time to consult a subject specific expert. In this case, a professional tutor.
My math tutoring focuses on math = logic, where does this
concept come from and how do these puzzle pieces fit together. My chemistry tutoring,
biology tutoring and physics tutoring encourages students to dissect concepts and fit everyday occurences they never
questioned into a larger picture, seeing the underlying logic of the world around us. My test prep tutoring focuses on
specific problem areas and personalized strategic practice and test taking skills. My German tutoring & English tutoring focuses on
cultural linguistic aspects and conversation, so you can make yourself understood.
My longest engagement is tutoring a 3 children family,
meeting almost consistently on a weekly basis since 2014.
The oldest graduated from college a couple of years ago.
The middle child just spend time last year in England, studying at Oxford University and
has now graduated from college. The youngest is about to enter college.
