...Sciences: the hunt for the right equation to use, the unravelling of the mystery of the value of x. I want to show my students to see these subjects as I do: as a challenge, not a chore.

...in the session. I always try to fill in conceptual holes that may have been left behind from past math courses and reinforce fundamentals. Math builds on itself, so it is nearly impossible to build upon a shaky foundation. Many times this is the main hangup for students, and shedding light on a forgotten concept makes the current coursework much more straightforward. You will find that I will be easy to work with. I expect...

...similar problem and see if they can solve it. Also to target specific weak areas that the student is struggling in. Usually a visual aid accompanying the problem is how I like to teach. Using videos and open discussion are also good methods. Often times engagement in both verbal and written activities at the same time are great ways to learn a new subject. I enjoy quantum computing and chemistry, as well as spending my...

Mathematics is the key science to understand many sciences. It helps you be a critical thinker and challenges your mind.... I do my best to make the math concepts as simple as possible....

...tutoring work I do). Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular LSAT question might be, but rather why it is so. I don't simply warn you that question X of practice GRE Y is a trick question; I show you how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn...

Why do you think we are learning this?) Learning is an active process, but it certainly shouldn't be a chore; the...

Hi, my name is Ben. I've been math tutoring for 6 years now. I have experience working with age groups from elementary age students to college students. I try to make math comprehensive to everyone I teach by demonstrating solutions to problems as best I can and also working with what they know. I believe that asking questions and making as few assumptions as possible is to solve any problem, no matter how complex.
