...their math difficulties. I'm always bothered when I meet someone who claims to be bad at math because there often seems to have been a singular experience early in that person's education which robbed him or her of the necessary confidence to really feel comfortable with the subject. Because math at its core is quite rigorous, losing heart early can lead to a snowball effect where a student will have trouble with a new concept...

I was a full time high school math teacher in Northern California for two years, but came to realise that I missed the individual attention that tutoring gives.

Throughout my high school and college careers, I've always been "the tutor" to those close to me.

This has generally taken the format of a one-on-one lesson, whether in person or over Zoom. Through this, I have...

That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the...

In addition to the aforementioned technique I also take creative and differentiated approaches to the material so that my students can relate to it from their own experiences, and have a broad understanding.
