...that all students can learn mathematics. I have been working as a tutor since I was thirteen for mathematics and I love every minute of it. I like tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject. Being able to do math, not just arithmetic, is an ability that every student has and I believe that together we can figure out...

...possible. My previous experience with teaching includes teaching faith formation classes of different ages, tutoring high school students (primarily in Math, but also other subjects such as English), and being a tutor for a scientific writing class, in which I led workshops and gave students feedback on their papers.

I think that it is crucial that students also learn what resources they have available to them when a tutor or teacher is not available, and how to employ those resources. I think it is vital that I help students figure out the best way for them to learn. Every individual is different and I see it as my role to teach study skills that...

...and nannying two delightful young girls as I've been job searching. These have been rewarding experiences but I do miss the academic world. In college, I was constantly doing study sessions with my younger friends to help them in classes that I'd already taken it.

My favorite subjects to tutor are highschool math, C#, and python for data science. I find comfort in the structured logic of math and...

...calculus because it has so many real life applications and the logic behind it is fascinating to me. When I teach I focus on giving simple explanations and analogies regardless of how complicated a topic is. When tutoring I usually give some background on the subject and show an example problem. Then I ask my students to solve a similar problem and after they develop confidence we move on. As someone who has needed tutoring...

Soon thereafter, I began working for a private company as a tutor for students with special needs, as well as those with English as their second language (in reading, writing, and math).
