Career Experience
I've taught high school physics and math for 30 years and worked with many wonderful students. While I was getting my physics degrees, I worked at a major scientific research lab doing atmospheric research with lasers, and in the cardiology department of a large hospital, as well as a stint as a teaching assistant at a Midwest university.
I Love Tutoring Because
...tutoring one-to-one is the best way of helping a student due to the interaction and immediacy of the learning. It's much easier to see how the student is thinking than in a classroom setting. Some of my most worthwhile teaching experiences were in tutoring students before and after school, and during lunch. Students are much more likely to have an 'Aha!' moment when they are working with someone individually.
Other Interests
