...Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to tutor is math. To many people, math is just a jumble of numbers and an exercise of memorization. I was fortunate enough to be able to view math as a puzzle a series of steps that solves a mystery. As I have continued my studies in math, I have come to believe it is essential as it helps to develop problem solving skills as well as fundamental principles of...

...captain for a national-level debate team. My job was to coach the younger members.

...of the basics - to understand the previous steps - before learning each new topic. My approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more on understanding why these work and how you can arrive at them yourself.

I...

I enjoy teaching and watching the student's confidence improve. This is accomplished by applying both patience and determination. I believe...

...where making mistakes and asking questions is all part of the learning process. I am in no way a disciplinarian that enforces over-practicing. When I teach and when I learn I draw associations so concepts can be readily remembered - this is especially true when learning a language or when understanding math/science concepts. In my free time I enjoy being active! I like most sports and outdoor activities but recently Ive started to refine my...
