French and German are my native...

...education. I am a Texas and Washington certified teacher with an endorsement in math. Before I moved to Washington I spent 2 years teaching PAP Geometry and PAP Algebra 2. I know to my core that anybody can learn math if they will set down the idea that they can't and start believing in themselves. Outside of teaching and tutoring math I love reading, being outside, playing soccer, volleyball and just being active.... I believe that...

...to the internet to teach myself the subjects I struggled with. However, when I did make use of tutoring services I had a far easier time being successful in my studies.

My strongest subject was always math, but as...

...international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of students' issues and find/develop a solution that fits their...

I am very personable and dedicated and in the end I just want the student to have a good time understanding a subject that can be very fun! I go above and beyond to make sure...

...been tutoring ever since. I knew I enjoyed tutoring the first time a student had a "light-bulb" moment where everything we had discussed and they were working on came together. Since starting to tutor I have had experience tutoring individuals as well as groups (10-15 people). The subjects that I currently tutor are algebra, calculus, and statistics. Of these subjects I enjoy statistics the most though, both tutoring and learning, because of how applicable to...

Being understanding of a student who is having difficulty picking up a concept, not displaying signs of frustration, and a willingness to repeat an explanation or finding a new way to explain a topic are key elements to being a good tutor. Helping others learn makes me feel as though I am making a small but significant difference. Math has...

...approach to teaching to ensure thorough understanding of the material, allowing students to also enjoy the learning process, and focus on pertinent applications of the material extending beyond the scope of a single assignment. I like to break concepts down into smaller, easy-to-manage parts, and then bring them back together once each part is mastered. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and after 10 years as a police officer, decided to change careers...
