...unique ways. However, I also understand that not everyone sees math as I do and know that math can intimidate even the best of students. My teaching philosophy centers around building a student's confidence in their own learning abilities (particularly if they have math anxiety) and helping a student develop the language of math. My goal is not for students to just find an answer; my goal is for them to be able to explain...

...working as a teacher's assistant for Penn's freshman calculus. I led multiple recitations for up to 80 students in one semester, held office hours, and graded homework. My teaching style in math-related subjects tends to be detailed and review-oriented. Students become confused in math when teachers skip steps or incorrectly assume that the student understands a previously taught concept. Therefore, I try to explain every step of a problem, unless the student demonstrates to me...

...and gained experience in professional research manuscript writing. I prefer tutoring math (of any level) as I really enjoy seeing and better understanding how the world works through numbers. When I teach, I enjoy drawing real world connections and giving tangible examples of abstract ideas. I am an optimistic, energetic motivator who believes anyone can achieve anything he/she puts his/her mind to. Outside of academia, I am very active and love the outdoors. I am...

...experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going the extra mile by doing more practice problems than are actually assigned or watching videos on certain concepts helps reinforcement and allows students to thrive in the classroom. As a tutor, I like to guide students in the correct direction and help them gain footing when learning a new subject; however, I also like to give students independence so they can determine their best method for learning.

...Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point. Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as many people reach their full potential as possible. Now, through Varsity Tutors,...
