...intuitive understanding of quantitative subjects. It's all too common for folks to struggle with math and even stress out about it. I hope to help more students to realize that math isn't scary. The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible. Once we unlock your intuitive quantitative skills you will find things like math and physics are...

...may be struggling. Overall, my exceptional academic abilities, combined with my experience instructing young learners, make me an outstanding tutor.

...taught with the right method. Math often becomes blurry to students, and they give up. My goal is to show them that math is not some magical unknown subject, but has very specific rules that tell you how to get the problem done.

It is the small steady changes and growth that make us great! I believe that each of us has the ability to exceed all our own expectations. That is why I tailor my teachings to the student's methods of learning...

...outgoing. I believe that tutoring is really an exercise of providing others with the key pieces of insight they need in order to fill the gaps in their knowledge. A lot of time a single reinterpretation of what a student already knows can lead to that "a-ha" moment that makes the subject suddenly click in a very satisfying way. Outside of the academic field I enjoy playing basketball and will play pretty much any board...

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching the Portland Trailblazers, and cooking.
