David: Thornton ACT Math tutor
Certified ACT Math Tutor in Thornton, CO
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. Everyone has a different 'style' of learning so as a coach I need to grasp that and present each subject with a congruent style.

...4th semester tutoring in the athletic department here at CU where I have tutored over 50 athletes in various math classes since being the first freshman tutor there. Tutoring math is a no-brainer for me because it allows me to combine my two passions: math and helping people. Many people say that they aren't a "math person" but I would argue that's not that case. Everyone can understand math, but not everyone will understand it...

...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 be fully understood and applied to other situations when the tutor is not present.
