I enjoy helping students identify their strengths, which not only helps me tailor my sessions to their specific needs, but also provides encouragement for learners who may feel disengaged or dispirited.

...be adjusted for each student; however,I typically teach in a way in which the concept introduction is key before performing practice problems. I believe that although it may take a little longer at first to learn the "why" behind a subject, it produces greater understanding, and subsequently better test scores. Aside from academics, I enjoy reliving my days as a club-level collegiate fencer. I also enjoy cracking open a YA novel from time to time,...

...Math, I am always excited to help students learn to love the Math they are studying and gain confidence in their abilities.
