My job is to instill the love of Math in you. It's all about the fundamentals and everything starts with baby steps. With these two in mind and one's approach to solving a problem, you'd be able to solve any Math problem in no time. Failure is not an option for either one of us.

...My undergraduate education at St John's Collegea unique school that has retained the traditions of classical educationprovided fertile ground for my work as a tutor. By engaging deeply with a range of texts, from Euclid's Elements to Pascal's Penses, I developed close reading skills and a love for all things literary.

If you need help with Chemistry or Physics (for High School or Community College), or any kind of math from Algebra on - let me be your tutor! These subjects don't have to be hard. I can break them down and explain them for you. I'm a nerd (fantasy and science fiction) from way back, as well as a space nut. I'm a little quirky, and I make bad puns sometimes - but nobody's perfect!

The love for the former two stems from years of education and...

...have been employed as a TA and instructor for college students in biology and chemistry.
