I am a graduate of Trinity University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science with minors in Mathematics and Physics.

I started my tutoring career while attending Strake Jesuit College Preparatory. I have tutored students in Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Geometry, Algebra, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics, Engineering Mechanics (both Statics and Dynamics), and Thermodynamics. While working for a previous tutoring company, I helped to design and teach their standardized test preparation course for high school students. Thanks to this experience, I am intimately familiar with tutoring for both the SAT and ACT.

I believe that a tutors role in education is to ensure understanding. After all, practice doesnt actually make perfect, it simply makes permanent. I believe that the tutors job is to make sure that the student is practicing correctly, so that what is ultimately made permanent is the correct way to solve problems.

I particularly enjoy tutoring in math. I love the process of learning by extrapolating knowledge: building advanced mathematical knowledge from the foundation of what the student already understands. By relating everything back to the basics of the discipline, I love watching students realize that they actually know and understand a lot more of math than they give themselves credit for.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

I typically start by trying to gauge where the student currently stands in their understanding of the material. From there, it gives me a better idea of whether I can simply provide ongoing support as the class moves forward, or if I need to devote more time to reinforcing the more basic concepts with the student so that they can become more comfortable with the advanced materials.
