Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Akron, OH

...Throughout high school and especially in my section of AP Calculus, I would tutor many of my peers. When I teach someone I think the most important thing is that he or she understands the material not just recognize a pattern of when to use what tools.

Working with these kids is what got me interested in tutoring. When Im not working with younger students, I...

Having studied physics in college and worked in biomedical engineering, I am no stranger to technical jargon. But it is that jargon which (for me at least) makes learning more difficult than need be.

In my experience this helps boost their...

When I continued on to my MS, I had a graduate fellowship with the Political Science department. That gave me my first opportunity to teach, freshman American Government. I am curious by nature.
