...In Mathematics, there are multiple methods to solving problems and relating their applications to the real world.

...and done lots of volunteer tutoring. I strive to help students not feel patronized or shamed in moments of confusion, but empowered to see that they CAN do it.

...the conceptual hoops one needs to jump through in order to learn the material. I have a more personal approach and like to explain things so they are simple. Working with me will be a process of practice and talking through the concepts until you gain confidence enough to work comfortably with the material....
