My approach to tutoring and teaching is...

...I'm very excited to be a tutor for VarsityTutors. I have a very methodical approach to teaching. I want the students to understand the rationale behind the question. Yes, the student may get a specific question right, but what about other problems? Will the student have the skill set to solve other problems. To aid...

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design.
