Experience
Over the past three years, I have served as a peer tutor in multiple college organizations. Having been ranked in the top 5% of my general biology and chemistry courses, I have dedicated substantial time to tutoring my peers in these introductory college courses, helping many of the achieve As in their general biology and chemistry courses.
Teaching Methodology
It is common for students to feel anxious or discouraged about math or science, and for me, the most important thing is to empathize with and acknowledge their feelings and concerns. To create a supportive environment that champions academic curiosity and courage, I like to first allow the students to tell me what they know, then ask questions to diagnose areas of weakness and opportunities for improvement. Creating an environment that is comfortable for the student to voice feedback is also important, as their feedback helps me adjust my teaching pace and style to fit their needs and maximize their learning. Additionally, many academic concepts may be daunting. To tackle this, I like to introduce the big-picture concepts first, then break down the topic into simple, bite-sized concepts that are easier to grasp, building a strong foundation before moving on to more advanced concepts.
Why Choose Brian?
I believe that academic excellence is a baseline requirement for students, and it is my goal to help them build efficient study habits so they may achieve academic success and engage in extracurricular experiences that help them become well-rounded individuals. With a background in biomedical engineering, I possess as deep understanding in both biology and chemistry, allowing me to utilize multiple approaches to explain concepts that are often difficult to grasp. I have experience helping peers achieve academic success in many difficult "weed-out" STEM courses and I seek to continue helping students excel in their academics by preparing them for home works, quizzes, and exams.
