Trenton

I have a passion for educating young minds, specifically in STEM fields. I have years of tutoring experience, have received national scholarly awards, and am a co-author in a published research paper regarding exercise and cognition. I have a bachelor's degree from Nova Southeastern University and I tutor grades 5-12.

My tutoring style:

My teaching philosophy focuses on catering each lesson to the specific student's talents, skills, and understanding. I do not lecture; I help the student engage in their own learning. By getting to know what the student is interested in I can create examples and conversation that will help keep the student engaged. I also mix in plenty of wit and critical thought to keep a smile on both of our faces.

Success story:

One of my favorite stories of a student succeeding was very recently and due to the pandemic. We started with one session a week and very quickly switched to two sessions in order to catch up on missing work. After just 6 weeks of consistent tutoring and diligent learning strategies, he was able to raise his grade from a 75 to a 94. He accomplished this by receiving A's on multiple exams consecutively.

Hobbies and interests:

The last few years of my life have been consumed by learning more about the world we live in such as electronics, construction, politics, philosophy, religion, and chemistry. When I am not learning, I am snowboarding, disk golfing, hiking, mountain biking, or playing poker. I also like other strategy games such as chess and Clash of Clans.
