I entered the teaching field for two reasons: I enjoy math a lot, and, more importantly, I love helping students.

...years of experience tutoring Physics, Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus. I feel I have a unique tutoring style. I help the student work through a series of small questions. By doing so, we break the problem down so that they not only get the answer to the question but they also understand how to get to the answer, which will help them in the future. This tutoring style was very popular with my students. My tutoring...

It is important that tutors give students the tools to solve these problems without actually completing the work for them.

Both as a tutor and a student, few things are as gratifying as those light-bulb moments when everything comes together and clicks. Whether it is ACT Math or writing an essay, there is never only one correct method, and as your tutor I will help you find the method that works best for you!
