I have been tutoring math, science, and test preparation for 4 years for students of all ages. I am strongest in high level math, which is my favorite subject to tutor as well. My teaching style involves guiding the student through exercises instead of just showing them how to complete them. This way, they are more engaged...

...and the precise logical clarity of math. I also sometimes end up conceptualizing concepts in a different or more fundamental way than I did previously, which leads me to understand the subject more deeply even while I am tutoring it. I try to tutor in a way that involves asking the student questions and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply...

...that, along with respect, care, and concern for each individual, to engage each student in his or her own learning process. Students are our nation’s greatest assets, this I will never forget. Students in my classes receive direct instruction and learn from wide-ranging instructional techniques that enhance the classroom environment. My enthusiasm is contagious.

There is nothing better than seeing a child finally understand a concept! That is what drives me; it is why I love being an educator.

Thus helping the student to understand or see the materials in different ways.

...help all students of differing performance and interest levels since I truly feel that we are all capable of having a logically-developed mind, which is what mathematics really is. Of course, many people think that they hate and are bad at math, but this is often more due to a teacher not showing them the beauty of it and how everything makes sense. It is not like other fields that facts from history are disproven...

...kids in their homes and at school, to teaching in an orphanage in Cambodia. Through all of my experiences, I have learned the three keys to success are to understand how the students learns (kinesthetic, visual, auditory), make the information relevant to their lives allowing for personal connection to the material, and support the student through answering follow-up questions. I am the type of tutor that has patience, understanding, and a good sense of humor...
