One-on-one teaching especially should be less lecturing from the tutor and more input from the student. By using examples to clarify and solidify points, concepts can...

I graduated from San Jose State University with degrees in Philosophy/Religious Studies and Physics/Mathematics. Throughout college I tutored various math subjects, physics, and chemistry. After years in the business world I taught math with Denver Public Schools as a Blue Print Math Fellow. I am passionate about learning and helping others.
