Experience
I have tutored privately since 2021 for a variety of science classes. I started tutoring math classes in high school, then in college shifted to tutoring biology, chemistry, organic chemistry. Also, I have helped teach 4 courses at UCI in STEM fields, and am MCAT tutor. Outside of tutoring, I have extensive experience in mentorship for college students.
Teaching Methodology
Teaching is about unlocking the student's inner potential. Many times, it boils down to study habits and strategy for approaching classes. I help students build and maintain evidence based study habits so that they become stronger students and more profound thinkers. When looking specifically at a subject, my philosophy is challenge and investigation. And while I like to push students to think more deeply about a subject, I also believe in steadfast support for them to achieve success. Principally, I do this though a method I like to call "teach back". Initially I can explain something, but I have students teach me the concepts so that I see what they do and don't understand. Then from gauging their level, I can model a progressively challenging curriculum and support system to maximize their learning.
Why Choose Stefan?
I don't teach a subject, I teach a student. I fundamentally believe in building stronger thinkers so that students become more independent and prepared not just for class, but for the life ahead of them. Knowledge is necessary, and sometimes we do need to memorize a lot of information, but we need to develop skills to apply that knowledge and think critically. That's what I aim to do with my students.
