Experience
I have tutored many classes, ranging from college algebra to graduate-level restricted electives like cancer biology. All of the classes I have listed are still familiar to me and I have received a grade of A (or equivalent). My teaching style focuses on both learning the material from multiple angles and testing how well the student can apply that material. Testing is a major hurdle and one of the main things it checks is the confidence-level of the student. Many times, you will see options in questions that seem very similar, or just plain confusing looking questions as a whole. My plan ideally tries to build confidence in the student for tackling problems; once you are comfortable and certain, the questions do not seem as intimidating anymore and it is much easier to solve them. I feel that the "hard" subjects that many students struggle with, such as physics and math, just need some perspective as well as regular practice. At the end of the day, a good result is mostly the product of the effort put in by the student, my role is to give much-needed direction to ensure that the effort is being put to good use.

Hobbies
I like biking most days and regularly bike down trails such as the Shingle Creek trail. Being in nature is therapeutic and helps clear my head after a long day of work. I also play ultimate frisbee both recreationally and competitively. Additionally, I play intramural flag football at UCF. Once a week, I like to volunteer at the Salvation Army soup kitchen in downtown Orlando. A long day of helping underserved people find a meal is rewarding because I feel I am giving back to the community in a meaningful way.
