Sam
Certified Tutor
In my own experience, I've found success in mathematical sciences requires a combination of repetition, revision, and recall, but I am flexible and adaptive to different learning styles. I welcome students and/or parents to set their own goals/expectations, and I tailor the curriculum to suit those goals.
I earned a PhD in statistics at The University of Iowa. I also served as Supervisory Teaching Assistant for a business statistics course, received Honorable Mention for Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award based on supervisor nominations, and a "Thank a Teacher" award by nomination from a former student. In my teaching evaluations, which I can provide upon request, students describe my style as "supportive" and "always willing to help."

What is your teaching philosophy?
Reading comprehension is important in word problems. I help students struggling with reading comprehension by asking students to identify and write down all important quantities and relationships from a word problem. This nearly always helps students determine how to proceed with the problem.
