I have been teaching and tutoring math for the last ten years. I enjoy looking at a problem and seeing if there are different ways to solve it, which makes the process a little more interesting than working on it with just one method. One thing I have found to be helpful is to think of possible errors one might make while working on a problem, which allows the concepts to sink in even more.

...from this knowledge when it is needed, all relevant vocabulary and equations must be thoroughly understood. Formulas that are memorized without understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to uncover the causes of anxiety or helplessness technical subjects can engender. My bachelor's...

...so it's safe to say most of my education has been centered around STEM. Even still, I used to think I was bad at math until my second year of college taking an intro to business math class and decided I needed to switch majors. The rest is history.

I've served two AmeriCorps service terms after college and recently moved to Portland...

...internalize. A good teacher on the other hand should never forget what it was like to look at the material back when it made no sense. They should further be able to remember how they came to understand it, and be able to communicate this to the student. If the student still does not understand, a great teacher will find a way to communicate it in a way that the student will. I became a...
