...enjoyed math. I enjoy being able to help others understand it. And I feel gratified when I can relieve the stress a student is feeling about not getting the math they have to do for a class or test. Outside of math, I have a degree in psychology and am very interested in the topic. In my spare time, I also like hiking, mountain climbing, table tennis, running, reading, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, and chess.

I've taught over thirty students in standardized test preparation, English, German, and various kinds of math and science. It's very important to find teaching methods that meet students' individual needs,so the first meeting will usually be largely about finding the perfect learning strategy for a student.
