Certified SAT Math Tutor in Troy, MI
...like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking (acrobatic...

...I am anxiously awaiting the December premiere of "Star Wars VII : The Force Awakens." Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. What this means is, I am not answer service. I guide students through the steps of solving a problem. This is especially true for math. A successful student will progress towards understanding more advanced concepts, until he/she is hopefully ahead...

...that is easier to visually interpret. The exact meaning of "prestidigitation" might elude you some day, but if you ran across this word on the SAT or the GRE, you likely had to learn how to infer tone and meaning using limited information. These skills are valuable and likely what you will retain throughout your life. This is why I care about helping people think about problems not just solve them. I care about showing...

For example, when solving for the length of the longest side of a right triangle "ABC" (Pythagorean theorem), they will show 2 examples in class without explaining why side "C" is "C". Then on standardized test, the sides are now labeled "EFG", and the child struggles to properly choose the correct inputs to the equation. Memorizing formulas is...

The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the direction of the challenging areas. With this information, I can help students build their own learning and testing strategy to accomplish their goals.... There is always more...

Certified SAT Math Tutor in Troy, MI
...One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like to focus on helping students find their authentic voice. Essays succeed when students strip away the extraneous material and present themselves and their ideas honestly, and I think with a little coaching any student can be a successful writer.
