...I especially love teaching math because I believe that there are many teachable moments to be had when learning math which can help both students and myself as a tutor grow and learn beyond just basic math skills. In addition, I have had some great teachers and professors in my time as a student and hope to give back what they taught me to those who are learning these subjects now. I look forward to...

...I think it is exciting and has many applications in life. My tutoring style is to explain each step so that students learn why they are doing each particular part of the problem, and can apply that knowledge to other problems.

Additionally, I love baking, sports,...

...a powerful car engine, you must first need to know what a cylinder is and its properties. I enjoy taking things apart and further studying them and use that as templates to build anew. This applies to almost anything you can think of. Math problems, science problems, car parts, furniture, exotic and normal dishes. I love sports. I enjoy playing more than watching; but, in both cases I always look to "science" out the game.
