Herbert
Certified Tutor
I am a graduate of Buffalo State College in New York, and I was a proud student athlete. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Economics & Finance, and later earned my Masters of Science in Finance with a focus on Financial Analyst from Kaplan University. During college, I was a three year starter on the Football team as a wide receiver. I was successful both in the classroom and on the field. I was awarded with the Buffalo State Academic Excellence Award and was also named Western New York Scholar Athlete of the Year. I enjoyed being able to balance my life with school and playing football at a high level, while maintaining my focus on my studies. My love for math started when I was in 5th grade, and it grew as I continued my education. My first 5 semesters of college, I was in the Engineering program for the sole reason that I loved to do math. During that time, I took Calculus I, II, III, and Differential Equations before I switched to Finance to finish my degree. After college, I moved to Texas and got my certification to teach math and also was hired as a coach. I taught 7th grade math for four years, 6th grade math for 3 years, and coached Football, Basketball, and Track. As a math teacher, I have always provided before and after school tutorials for my students. As a one on one tutor, I have tutored many of my co-worker's children that are now in high school for math and a couple that were in college. I worked for tutoring company that was a part of a charter school where I tutored students over the summer to help them polish their math concepts from the previous year or help prepare them for the upcoming year. I believe math is such an important concept, it is more than just a subject. It is a way of thinking, analyzing, problem solving, and it can be applied to many different aspects of all our lives. I truly enjoy teaching and sharing this concept and idea with my students every year. I want my students to understand how to open their thought process when working on math problems. I love to show them how thinking mathematically can help them be a better person. In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing almost all sports, my Xbox 360, watching Sci-Fi, and I'm a huge comic fan, Marvel and DC, love them both.
