...never give a student the answer, but I will help them realize where they went wrong so they can focus on their mistakes. Especially in mathematical subjects, the true knowledge is in understanding the process of answering a question, and just knowing the answer is not enough. I work with students to recognize errors, and to help students be able to answer questions by themselves. I have a similar approach in English subjects, where it...

Most of my tutoring experience comes from high school, where I helped younger students in a variety of subjects.My teaching philosophy is based on the fact that there is a simpler way to explain everything, and I hope to be able to explain that to students. Access to resources is also extremely important, and I hope to provide many to my students, which will...

...one of the subjects I struggled with the most while going through Middle School and High School. It taught me how essential it is to have a strong foundation not just in Math, but in any and every subject.

...tutoring for the past year in English, writing, math from elementary through high school levels, standardized tests, and chemistry.

...comes naturally because I enjoy teaching Math. This enthusiasm and energy helps to motivate students to do well and to also enjoy math. I also motivate my students by setting high expectations for them.

It is not my grades, exam...

...to understand what concepts they are struggling with, whether it's the current lesson or a missed concept from a previous lesson. I also like to integrate general study and test-taking skills into my lessons, regardless of the subject.
