...West Coast, I consider myself a cheese-head for life. In high school, my family moved to Spain where I learned and became fluent in Spanish. I continued my language studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison as a senior in high school when my family returned to the States. When I entered college at Lewis & Clark, I decided to continue my academic Spanish and pursued a major in Spanish Literature. As a part of...

...While being pretty proficient in chemistry I am also well versed when it comes to Algebra and other math subjects. I have a lot of informal experience when it comes to tutoring and have been able to help a lot of my friends and fellow classmates through chemistry classes. I can be a great tutor because I can think of things in many different ways which makes it easier to teach different types of students...

...the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself.

I have particular experience and expertise in...

...to listen and play music with my friends whenever I get the chance. As a tutor, I try to figure out what methods work best for each student I work with. I fully understand that teaching is not a "one size fits all" sort of thing and everyone learns in different ways.

...from algebra to calculus. I am a very interactive and hands on tutor, and believe a free-flowing dialogue between student and teacher is essential for maximum learning efficiency. I would much rather work through problems with my students to find areas in need of improvement rather than sit back and watch them struggle.

...right method. Math often becomes blurry to students, and they give up. My goal is to show them that math is not some magical unknown subject, but has very specific rules that tell you how to get the problem done. It can be very satisfying and even beautiful when something clicks in your brain. I intend to share that with students, so they can become more skilled at problem solving, and possibly build a love...

...in being tutored online, I am your go-to person. I am supportive of students' learning; I make my lessons interesting and have bearing on what students know about their lives. This requires me to get to know my students, their likes and dislikes. I believe students should be respected for who they are and not belittled. I don't believe anyone should be forced to conform to a system arbitrarily or unnecessarily. It is okay not...

...it is these previous experiences that most significantly contribute to my ability to be an effective tutor. I currently volunteer as a tutor with America Reads & Counts in Durham (ARAC), and through this program, I work with students in the Durham community to help them get the most out of their education.

My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The second most exciting thing about mathematics is that moment when something totally opaque...

...a more formal basis. I believe my differentiating quality as a tutor comes from the fact that I have a vast amount of real-world experience in a number of different fields. As such, I know exactly why different concepts are important to master, beyond just being able to pass tests and how they are used in real life. This is important because I believe it is critical for a student to understand why they are...
