"I'm Bryan! I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Science, with minors in Physics, Computer Science, and Engineering Management. My role models growing up were always those special science and math teachers that really made the coursework interesting and engaging, and I strive for the same impact on my students. While math and science were always my strong suits growing up, I wasn't always so lucky in reading and writing. I started with a sub-700 score in SAT Reading and Writing, but after weeks of dedicated self-study, I was able to achieve perfect 800s in both (this was back when SATs were out of 2400), so I know what it's like to learn subjects I'm not comfortable with.
If there's one thing I hate, it's busywork! When I assign coursework, you can be assured there's always a valuable lesson to be gained. I will never give students work to do that isn't productive, and most times I will try to leave time at the end of the session to work through problems together so that students don't have to do too much outside of our sessions. I know normal schoolwork is already time-consuming on its own, so I don't want to add to that!
I'm very open to feedback and criticism. Students (and their parents) know themselves better than I do, so if there's something I can do better on, please let me know and I'll make the adjustments immediately. I'm excited to start working toward your academic goals together!" less...
