Experience
I want to be a tutor not only because I want to help students learn but because I believe in a way of teaching that promotes true understanding of a concept, which is a stronger tool than excersizing short-term memory. I personally strive to better understand the world and when I have an "aha!" moment, the understanding and acceptance of that concept helps me to be a better person. That is what I want to invoke in other students: not learning for simply a good grade, but learning that will stay with you and help you grow. I have gained a broad, conceptual knowledge at Cal Poly and my strongest subjects are math, physics and science. Relevant classes I have taken include: Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus Algerbra I & II, Calculus I, College Physics I, Electrical & Mechanical Power Systems, Decision Making in Supply Chain, Services, and Project Management, Industrial Automation, Product Evaluation, Decision Making & Problem Solving with CAD, Manufacturing Processes & Materials, Packaging Polymers & Processing, World of Chemistry, Cellular & Molecular Biology, History & Diversity of Life, Physical Oceanography, Introduction to Geology, Geography of Latin America, American & California Government, Positive Psychology, Personality, Family Psychology, Biopsychology, and Social Psychology.
