Experience
During my Ph.D education, I had more than 4 years of teaching experiences as a TA (teaching assistant to university professors). In these courses, I taught students basic course concepts (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc) and helped them to design and assemble mechanical and electrical parts for conducting scientific research. In addition, I have constantly been doing 1-on-1 tutoring for many years and I have tutored more than 200+ students. (I can provide references from my former/current students or parents upon request). I really enjoy teaching and seeing students learn basic concepts and pick up hands-on skills. I teach students in ways not only to help them to do well in their course-work, but more importantly also to teach them how to apply what they learn and to think ‘outside-the-box’. Some of the things I can provide for the students are: 1) Set a strong foundation in their current course work 2) Develop great problem-solving skills 3) Stimulate students to think more creatively Having been through different phases in my academic career, I understand making academic decisions (picking colleges, course selections, etc) can be very confusing and often frustrating. I can be there for the students as a mentor/counselor, guiding them through the process.
