We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.... We all learn differently and at our own pace. Also, we often know more than we think we do. We just...

...of reading, has carried on into my adult life. I became a teacher after I was encouraged by my daughter's second grade teacher. The decision to choose Special Education was fostered from watching my sister and other children struggle with reading, writing, math, and other studies.

Music: I have a Music Minor...

I'm currently a sophomore majoring in Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I'm most familiar with high school math, history, and English as well as SAT and ACT prep. In my experience tutoring I've found that students respond best to a careful walktrough of the key points in a problem, followed by an opportunity to come up with the answer a similar question on their own.

I am excited and more than willing to help anyone with anything related to computer science.

...current student at Kansas State University majoring in Computer Engineering. My favorite subjects are math and programming because I enjoy the problem solving that comes with them. When both teaching and learning, I try to focus on the how and why rather then just learning to solve problems.
