I'm interested in getting to know students to evaluate how best to accommodate or complement their learning desires and needs. I want to know what makes them apprehensive to or love a subject/topic and how to engage them to advance from where they begin. It should be an exciting journey for both of us! I'm a recently graduate dentist who has a strong writing, science, and math background!

...they feel valued by an attentive, enthusiastic, and patient teacher. I am creative and enjoy thinking from several viewpoints, which allows me to engage students of all learning styles. Although I tutor a variety of subjects, I especially love English, Literature, and Shakespeare because those subjects allow me to engage students in discussions where I learn just as much from their perspectives as they do from mine! Even though I enjoy these areas, I find...

...taught middle school math for seven years at all grade levels. This experience provided me the opportunity to work with many different students and I learned that each student is extremely unique. In 2011, I moved back to Minnesota and taught both special education and general education students again focusing mainly on teaching math. I believe that all students can learn and I have experienced this firsthand. I have high expectations for each student I...

Outside of academia, my interests include hiking and camping, traveling, gardening, cooking, and playing...

...is strongest subject, I tutor some statistics and computer science (Python is my favorite language) courses. Most importantly, I love learning and teaching others about math! My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus, in particular Calculus 1, because I love the depth of intuition one can achieve by thinking about topics visually. I classify my teaching/tutoring style as Experimentalist, in the sense of John Dewey, because I believe that learning is best done through hands-on...

I enjoy teaching math because to the student who doesn't understand, it is a riddle with no answer. By teaching them how to recognize the type of problem and how to decode the clues, the student gets to be on the other side of the riddle, the side on which they solve it and feel good about it.

As a former high school and middle school Science and Math teacher at a private school in California, I believe that every student deserves personalized learning. Every student is unique in their learning style, their needs, and their personality and I strive to make sure my students uniqueness is celebrated in my teaching style.

...variety of subjects from math, to history, to writing. In every subject, I was able to help lead my students into developing their own critical thinking skills.

...don’t run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as possible. Sitting for a standardized test can be a stressful experience for many people. I try to give students a firm toolkit of techniques and tactics so that they do not have to improvise in that kind of situation, and can instead focus on showing what they know.
