...and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and interesting.

...teaching algebra and geometry classes and directing the school play. Among my peers, I tend to be the go-to guy for any questions about math or grammar.

...and confidence. I believe learning is a constructive process in which learners construct meaning of the world by interacting with their social and physical environment.

I am personable, outgoing, and patient. I am confident that I can not only help you understand the lesson, but also get you to laugh throughout it!... My philosophy is to always listen to the student. So many teachers, instructors, and tutors get wrapped up in themselves: "What am I going to say?" "How can I teach this;" opposed to hearing what the student knows and understands. I believe the best course of action is to observe and listen to the student. Once the tutor can gauge where the student's understanding is, they can then develop a plan. I also have the philosophy that learning should be fun and light. Many students find it as a heavy burden (especially when they don't understand), and it's my goal to ensure that each student under me has a great time and realizes that learning can be a light and fun thing to do!

We enjoy watching our high schoolers play volleyball and our youngest one play his trumpet. My husband and I are very involved in the community holding leadership roles in school parent...

I have two years of experience teaching SAT math and verbal courses. I have also privately tutored math majors in various math courses, ranging from linear algebra to probability and multivariate calculus. Many of the high school students I have tutored/mentored went on to be accepted at Ivy League schools (Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell).
