Dae: Northlake tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and have worked as a professional tutor for 5 years. My background includes working with high school students on a one-on-one and class setting, as well as math content development.

My Bachelor's is in Wildlife Biology and Conservation and I tutor Elementary Math, Geometry, Middle School Math, Algebra 1 & 2, Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus. My favorite subjects to tutor would be Geometry and Trigonometry because of their real world usefulness (I have found it very useful for personal building projects). I also enjoy teaching Algebra, largely because of the usefulness of implementing accurate functions for growth, decay, projected values, etc.

When tutoring, I like to visually explain problem solving methods to students and follow up with example problems that they can then practice on. My goal is to always be available as a reference to students, and to help teach problem-solving skills and critical thinking, both being applicable in nearly any field of study. I believe that a student can succeed in any subject they put their mind to, and success starts with understanding core concepts of a subject and how to apply said concepts.

My interests are varied and include outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, swimming, canoeing and biking. I am also active in the LGBTQ+ community, identifying as a woman of trans experience myself. My goal in life is to empower members of our community to be our best selves.
