I am a great tutor because when I am finished tutoring a student, they not only get their work done, they understand the concept they were having trouble with. I tutored at Austin Community College for two years, I taught Secondary Mathematics for three years, and I taught at a career school for over 3 years, where I taught College Algebra, among other general education courses. ... Before getting started, I tend to get comfortable and relax, with the hope that the student will as well. I believe that the student must be involved in their own learning. I do not do the work for the student. My goal is to give the student the tools to help themselves. When a student tells me "I don't get it," I use probing questions to get them to narrow it down to exactly what it is that they don't get. I encourage them to apply themselves. I also do plenty of examples, doing whatever I can to relate the work to the real world, and specifically, their real world. I try to gain a rapport with the student, then relate the course material to the student's life.

I have a passion for learning and for helping others to learn! Started teaching undergrad courses in 1991...began tutoring in 1999 and received a tutoring award from the University of Pennsylvania.

If we have to back up to review things, no problem; I am there to help. I try to remind students I am not their teacher or parent, and I am not judging them at all.

I'm committed to serving students in order to support them in their success by helping them explore and learn in ways that are more engaging. ... I meet the student where they are at to get an understanding of why they are having difficulties in the subject matter.... I get to know the student by asking lots of questions and listening very carefully.... I give the student tools and resources to discover on their own. I also find out what interests the student and connect the content somehow to that.

..."ah ha" moment when a student begins to grasp the ideas and concepts in a subject. Getting to this moment is important. Equally important is building on that moment in further learning. I have found that a student intuitively knows if the tutor is patient, understanding, and creative about helping the learning process. This is personally important to me as a father of three children. I am indebted to those men and women that have...
