I have been brooklyn">tutoring my siblings since I have been in high school, which is for the past nine years. I have helped them with trigonometry, algebra, calculus, math-elementary/new-york/brooklyn">elementary math, geometry, college physics and chemistry. I have also tutored my friends in college physics. Last September, I got a job as a private brooklyn">tutor for two high school girls. I have been brooklyn">tutoring them in physics and AP calculus.

Once I have identified their weak areas, I focus on them. I try to make my brooklyn">tutoring session interactive. For example, when brooklyn">tutoring physics I use props to demonstrate the different concepts. I let my students think for themselves. Instead of telling them what’s the right way of doing something, I ask them questions, which causes them to think through the concepts and arrive at the answers themselves.
