...really enjoy doing. I've always enjoyed doing math, and I thought I would want to be a teacher, in a nice school, with a nice class of students, but the big groups are not for me.

I also enjoy the challenge of finding the...

...it means to have writing-centered coursework. When I was a senior in high school, I authored my Extended Essay, which explored the evolution of traditional Indian dance forms from pre to post-colonialism through the lens of perceptions of femininity.

...at Kansas State University majoring in Computer Engineering. My favorite subjects are math and programming because I enjoy the problem solving that comes with them. When both teaching and learning, I try to focus on the how and why rather then just learning to solve problems. I've found understanding why a given concept is valuable will make it easier to learn and more likely to be remembered when a potential application arises.

I have been tutoring for close to 20 years. I enjoy helping students fill in the gaps when it comes to mathematics, preferably upper level subjects such as algebra, geometry and trigonometry. I also enjoy helping students improve their ACT scores with better test taking strategies.
