Additionally, learning different concepts'...

I'm recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from the English Department at UT Austin. For me, academia has been hugely satisfying; it's an ever-evolving challenge that rewards hard work, curiosity, and ambition. My goal in tutoring is to help students gain the confidence to explore their own academic interests, present and future.

A life-long mathematics educator and learner who thrives in an atmosphere of academic collaboration, investigation, discovery and enlightenment. I believe that all students can learn and grow intellectually. I firmly believe in the wonderful and hopeful word "yet"...as in, "I can't do this 'yet', but if I keep working and trying, I will be able to do it eventually!"... I would introduce myself and try to find some commonality between myself and the student. I would ask about learning style, strengths, and weaknesses regarding retention of new material. I would ask about fears and experiences that might be roadblocks to learning and discuss how we might allay these.
