About
Hi! I'm Tomek. I live in Northern New Jersey and go to school at Stony Brook University. I have a passion for learning and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others.
I am currently studying Health Scie... nce with ambitions to become a Physician Assistant in sports medicine. I enjoy traveling and spending my time hiking, biking, and running.
The thing I like most about tutoring is the ability to extend my knowledge to others on topic that I am passionate about. I enjoy sharing all my passions with others, including hobbies, and especially learning. I feel shared success when I am able to assist with a homework question or clarify a topic.
My philosophy on tutoring is that any student has the potential to do well. I understand first hand the overwhelming nature of difficult courses. With guidance and support, I believe any student can gain the confidence they need to do well and improve their motivation for a class.
I have many years of school already completed and at each stage, I have sought help when needed and realized the benefit. I have been able to learn from a variety of teaching styles, which I have practiced and adopted in my own teaching. Not all students learn the same, so with a variety of strategies I hope for you all the experience the benefit that I did.read more
