About David

I try to teach the students the general concepts of the subject matter, never to memorize any facts. Memorization distracts from understanding a novel situation. And I would like to convey knowledge from my experience, not only in class through my time doing research, volunteering in nature reseves and health clinics, and traveling the world; I have done of a lot, despite my young age. I like to talk through the history of disciplines and highlight their importance to the world.

I like to tell stories, stories from history and stories from my experience, as a means of conveying knowledge.

I can also help students with their writing if necessary.

Almost everything. I enjoy teaching and storytelling, which will allow others to understand our world a little more fully. Tutoring also gives me a chance to think and problem-solve, both of which I love to do. Tutoring also gives me an excellent chance to interact with people from a range of backgrounds.

I have a bachelor's of science from Cornell University, where I majored in Biological Sciences.

Currently, I am a doctoral student of Environmental Medicine at NYU.

I have worked researching animal behavior and ecology, molecular biology, and the health sciences.

I have also volunteered at a nature reserve in Botswana and Long Island, and worked on an organic farm and a greenhouse.

About the lesson

At first I try to find out what is the student's learning style and with what subject matters or concepts they have trouble.

After that, I will try to put the subject into a broader context of its importance and relevance to the rest of the world.

And then I focus on working the student through learning the concepts, or adapting their learning style on the subject matters as necessary. I will tell stories, ask questions, go through tests, et cetera.

A student should always ask the following questions:

How does the teacher teach?

Do they have expertise in the subject matter in question?

Does the teacher stand out from the crowd?

And never work with a teacher with which you are not reasonably comfortable talking or chatting. One would this quickly during the first session.

I love climbing mountains. Recently, I traveled to Colorado to visit one of closest friends, whom I have known since elementary school. I was accompanied by two other friends who I have known for almost as long. These two were not seasoned climbers; instead of going a difficult climb, we decided on an easier, but not an easy, one. We started our ascent at four in the morning; it was dark and chilly, but the stars were brilliant. One of my friends had trouble; I tend to move very fast. As so, we all slowed down. There was snow on this mountain, Umcompahgre, in July! The snow was hard, easy to walk on top, early, but it started to melt as the sun came out. The views of the landscape and the sound of the rushing water was magnificent. I breathed clean air. Fields and walls of snow turned into stairs of loose rock. Eventually we got to the top, which was at an elevation of 14,306 feet. By the time of the descent, the snow was soft. When we stepped, we either slid or our feet dropped into the snow up to our waist. The sliding was much more fun. I jammed my foot into a rock as my foot fell through the snow; I soldiered through the rest of the way.

The climb was exhausting but was so much fun, all worth the journey.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do I need to ask the teacher this question? Or can I explore the world of the subject matter to find the answer, which could make me stumble onto something very interesting that I never expected to encounter?

A student should always ask a non-personal, appropriate question related to the subject matter (I personally love to discuss anything from many disciplines) of their teacher, and the teacher should love to attempt to answer the question.
