...tools which become instinct in higher level math like calculus, my favorite subject to study. I have a varied repertoire of subjects which I tutor as I do consider myself a renaissance man. I bring my bold and fresh teaching approach to all subjects and students. I have experience tutoring and/or taking coursework in all subjects listed. I have worked with students as young as middle school and as old as college.... The first session is the foundation for the wall of learning I plan to build in each following session. With this being said, I try to get to know the student very well in the first session. This includes getting to know the student's strengths and weaknesses academically but also the student's personal tastes. With the information from the first session, I am able to move forward with the student, achieving academic success while keeping sessions interesting. With a meaningful first session, the wall of learning is ready to be built!

Learning is most effective when the student is having fun, and the best way to learn is to teach.

More generally, as a tutor, I am very patient and flexible, always keeping a student's goals and motivations in mind...
