...learning started at a young age, thanks to my parents and a library card that opened my eyes to a wealth of information. It's my goal to help others enjoy learning as much as I have! I first started tutoring in high school, and I've enjoyed helping students from kindergarten age through college work through challenging concepts to gain a better understanding of the material. I'm a strong believer that "hard work beats talent when...

...needs to be adjusted for each student; however,I typically teach in a way in which the concept introduction is key before performing practice problems. I believe that although it may take a little longer at first to learn the "why" behind a subject, it produces greater understanding, and subsequently better test scores. Aside from academics, I enjoy reliving my days as a club-level collegiate fencer. I also enjoy cracking open a YA novel from time...

...will be motivated to approach problems with increased skill and eventually confidence. A student's insight is important to solving mathematics and calculus problems. Sometimes this insight is based on physical intuition--but it does not need to be. I spend time to ensure that the student starts on a correct approach. With years of hands-on-experience in electrical engineering and physical systems, I am able to associate the equations describing a system with its behavior. If concepts...
