I recognize that to be a tutor one has to be flexible and open to connect with the student first, to listen and figure out what things I can actually help them with. It is always my goal to help students understand concepts and problem solving strategies themselves, so that they can tackle and solve their...

...paths as there are children. The learning environment is an important aspect of education. Fostering an atmosphere of focused yet relaxed observation, inquiry, conjecture, discovery, analysis, and evaluation is the best learning "environment" for which there is no substitute. Family involvement is important to encourage. Informative communication is essential; making families feel totally comfortable about communication is a priority. Instruction that accommodates different learning styles, such as the use of manipulatives, visual and aural aids,...

...like to focus on any questions the student may have with the material and working on some examples before moving on to work on any assignments. My favorite subject to tutor is math because there is usually a simple way to explain a concept that clears away any confusion. In math, there are many right ways but only one right answer. In my free time I like to spend time with friends, watch movies, read,...

...When tutoring, I like to push my students to solve problems on their own with guidance from me only when necessary. I also like to have my students teach back concepts after I have explained them.

Some of my hobbies/interests outside of academics include knitting, photography, singing, traveling, reading,...

I'm a firm believer that the best way to improve in any area of...

...developed through mathematical thinking can help create success in other areas. I try to use multiple approaches while teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts.
