...understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more on understanding why these work and how you can arrive at them yourself. I have always enjoyed being able to help other people and my somewhat unique outlook on mathematics, coupled with my experienced mathematics background, have enabled me to assist many different people in the past. I have experience in teaching people...

In my teaching experience, when students actually learn the concepts and logic, not only does their math vastly improve, but they also learn to enjoy math, which is the ultimate goal. My qualifications include excelling at all high school math...

...subject to tutor is math. To many people, math is just a jumble of numbers and an exercise of memorization. I was fortunate enough to be able to view math as a puzzle a series of steps that solves a mystery.

Everyone encounters a struggle at many points in their lives: education, career, family, etc. However, it is in the process of learning to overcome struggles that we find personal growth.
