Experience
I firmly believe that every student has potential to be taught whatever they need to learn, without exception. There are a wide variety of perspectives and methods of learning. Some, like puzzle pieces, find connections help them best, while some others benefit from rote memorization. Interest began to grow for tutoring because of the vast array of different people from every part of the globe who were struggling with English as their second language, just like me. English is not my first language either, so through talking with these people, and helping them by seeing the way they thought and catering my approach to what they needed most, I was able to identify the best practices for teaching them. Other languages are completely different from English, and by identifying key components of the students' native language I could guide them using what they knew about how their language worked, and juxtaposing that with how English works. I could help them craft English sentences that made sense to them and anyone they had a conversation with. I have a BS in Biology. I minored in Chemistry, and I'm completely comfortable teaching different subjects in the Biological Sciences curriculum for undergraduates. I tutor my students in Anatomy, Physiology, and Genetics. Chem subjects are no problem whatsoever either. Organic Chem and Biochem excite me the most, because of the wide range of teaching methodologies I can use to communicate these incredibly heavy, complicated disciplines.
