I want you to understand how statistics works and what the logic behind it is. If you understand that, then it will be easy to learn...

...to tutor in a wide variety of math up through Calculus 2. Furthermore I am certified to tutor in and a variety of physics and mechanical engineering classes. Calculus would be my favorite subject to tutor in because this is the core foundation of engineering problem solving. However, I enjoy a wide variety of different disciplines of math and physics. Everyone learns differently and traditional environments are not always ideal for all students. My approach...

...not always find new concepts easy to understand and I therefore empathise with struggling students, coaching them with a patient, probing approach until we are both satisfied that we have reached our goal.
