My philosophy regarding teaching is to never move ahead with the material until I am 100% sure that the child understands everything I...

...both in their classroom tests and on their standard tests. I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes.

...tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering. I tend to push my students to understand conceptual topics, as opposed to rote or algorithmic learning.

...can successfully create the steps to solve a problem that they have never seen before. I have successfully worked with students who came to college unable to add fractions and enabled them to graduate with engineering degrees. Everyone learns differently. I strive to identify the learning style that works for each student and build success...

...first math tutor was my dad; when I was in elementary school, he used to check over my math homework for mistakes. If I missed something, he would flag the problem and we would go back and find where I went wrong. Eventually, I began to check my own work, which continued to be a...

...since I was eight years old. I mostly do hand-building and have gone through a number of phases. When I was very young, most of the ceramic sculptures I made were dragons because I was obsessed with them. When I first began studying Chinese in high school, I made ceramic tiles with Chinese characters on...

...mathematics learning for any and all students. I add the extra steps and insight as needed for students to better understand the topic and problems, as well as streamlining instruction and examples as individually needed by students. The utilization of the computer as a tool for helping to learn mathematics has always been an area...
