How have you represented PTP?
I have represented PTP by helping the students that come to me and always treating each person with both respect and a positive attitude. I love meeting all the people who schedule sessions with me each week! My goal for every session is for the students to walk away understanding more physics than when they first arrived.
How has PTP impacted you?
I have learned a lot from being a PTP tutor. Tutoring physics to other students has taught me how to adapt to different learning styles. I go into each session trying to tailor my approaches to how each student learns best.
Student Testimonial: “Yobella was very helpful in helping me actually understand the material before my quiz and explained the concepts super clearly! I will definitely schedule more tutoring sessions with her for physics in the future!”
