...attempt to connect concepts to "real world" uses and ideas. I hope to show my students that math is not a torture technique, but a tool that can be used to describe and test ideas as well as to overcome obstacles to success. Lastly, I believe that math and science are not done in isolation from other topics. Reading, writing and communication are important parts of instruction as well. Whether it is reading about a...

...working with students in achieving their goals is not only mastering the mathematical concepts, but watching their levels of confidence grow and attitudes about their abilities change.

But most of all, I just really enjoy the subjects I teach and love sharing them with others! Tutoring is very fulfilling for me, so I'm definitely looking forward to making connections with new...

...to become very interesting. I believe that each student has their own unique approach to learning new subjects. It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of...
