...beyond you. But growing up, anytime I had a question about math, I could go to my dad who taught math at a University level and he would make the subject fun and engaging. Because of that, I grew up loving math. No matter how difficult it was to grasp a concept at first, my dad would approach it in different ways until something clicked and and I felt like I had mastered it. I...

...decipher quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also include a lot of examples and...

In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to reply promptly to any...

...without truly grasping its content; such a style makes it impossible for students to approach unfamiliar problems and think critically, and often contributes to their discouragement and their writing off of entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to...

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. As such, I am very interested in math and science. I know some classes and tests can be a grind, so I want to help others to get through it and do well. I can tutor various subjects, such as Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Physics, SAT, and PSAT Prep.

...way, as they settle with "good-enough", but if we want what is best for our kids (I don't have any), we should go straight to the top, to the best educators. One educator, whose book I read and found inspiring, was Rafe Esquith. I didn't necessarily agree with everything he said, but there were some things I found inspirational and helpful for tutoring myself, such as focusing on wrong answers to questions and the logic...
