...which I believe has made me a very effective instructor/tutor. When a student says that he/she does not understand a concept, I will often ask him/her a couple follow-up questions in an effort to identify the root cause of his/her misconception. Then the student and I can go to work on clearing up this misconception. In general, my goal is to help students first understand WHY certain mathematical principles work, because then it will be...

...the earlier concepts or skills. I locate these earlier misunderstandings by asking questions like, "Walk me through this problem and explain your thought process" or "How are you thinking about this problem?" It's normal to get confused responses to these questions, but whatever response is offered, I can dig deeper by asking additional questions.

We currently have 13 student employees and...

I am a recent graduate of UCLA. I majored in Business Economics and Minored in Mathematics. I began tutoring because I love to teach. My philosophy is that if you can't explain a complex idea to someone who is unfamiliar with it then you do not fully understand it.
