By centering my tutoring philosophy around the student rather than the material, I'm highly optimistic...

...Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point. Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine.

...personal experiences to help teach and guide students on the path toward academic and personal success. The tutoring method that I have the most experience in involves using what the student already knows, building on that to foster confidence within a subject, and then implementing problem-solving skills that can lead to success in exam settings.

My teaching philosophy centers around building a student's confidence in their own learning abilities (particularly if they have math anxiety) and helping a student develop the language of math. My goal is not for students to just find an answer; my goal is for them to be able to explain how they reached their answer, which...

I think that my tutoring style is more hands on and going through the problem with the student.
