Award-Winning GMAT Tutors in Madison, WI

I connect with people best through sharing ideas. The majority of my spare time is spent trying to simplify or find alternate proofs of basic theorems to make them more intuitive.... Focusing on beauty solves many problems a teacher faces. If I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to people who admit math wasn't their favorite subject in school. Some were self-conscious. Some had gaps they never filled. Some just didn't care. Whatever the case, I admit to them that math is my favorite art form with as much room for expression as sculpting or jazz. I claim that mathematicians are half artists, half observers of fine art. My conversants often tell me it is an epiphany for them to think of math as such, and that it helps heal their math wound. A marvelous way I have found to unveil beauty in the classroom is by using surprise. I like to present ideas from a simple perspective, discuss them briefly, then release a theorem. Thales' theorem (the diameter of a circle subtends a right angle to any point on the circumference) is a great example, especially with the aid of Java applets. After playing a bit with triangles by moving points around in a worksheet, it's surprising to be able to connect two structures as basic as a right triangle and a diameter. Next in importance to marveling at beauty, I want students to learn to think critically to solve problems. Understandably, some students have never had guidance past high school drills. All the more, problem solving should be emphasized and revisited throughout college curriculum. I have many years of experience in problem solving competitions and a collection of principles regarding problem solving that I like to follow. One is about inverse problems. Consider the following: if baseball cards are five cents apiece and shipping costs fifty cents, how many cards will one dollar buy? After making the arithmetic clear, students had better know how to calculate the forward problem, i.e. "How much will x number of cards cost?" I'm depending on them knowing the forward problem because we covered it last week, but it is important to bring it out in more than just a mention so the students have a comfortable base to start. It's like revisiting rational numbers before diving into irrationals. They are intrinsically tied, and it gives the class confidence to start with old material.

...difficulties, learning disabilities, attention and behavioral disorders, and non-English backgrounds. I have an intense love for reading and writing; a passion I try to share with all of my students. While I'm well-versed in classic and modern literature, my favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy--I'm a sucker for anything written by George R.R. Martin or Isaac Asimov, in particular. In my spare time, I like to quilt, paint, bake, embroider, and listen to music--especially...

I love learning new languages and am working on a comedy script. I hope I can help you reach new heights in learning!... Early on in my life, I observed that an instructor who teaches (to) students makes little impact, as these lessons are simply foreign words and concepts that seem to have little relevance to the student. And so, ever since high school, I've been enthralled by the Socratic method. My sessions with students are much more like a conversation -- there are questions posited, incorrect statements (purposely made), suggestions given, and compliments doled out for a job well done. I love to interact with my students and help propel them toward the right methodology of the GMAT exam. This can never be done by pure instruction, but rather by experimentation and critical thinking.
