I have taken countless students who previously could not pass or learn math into a path of not only learning math, but loving to learn it and doing well in their next course! I know I could help any student succeed in their math class! I am currently an instructor...

...learn. We just need to find the right ways to teach them. Not every student learns in the same way, so it is up to teachers and tutors to help students discover how they learn best.

...4 kids, and a dog!). When I'm taking some time to myself, I can either be found reading a good book (I love most genres but hold a special place for Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Dystopian books. or watching some sports on TV (Go Broncos!).

...this happened because I had an amazing teacher that helped inspire me to learn math and physics. It is important as a tutor and teacher to explain and teach material; however, I believe it is crucial for the tutor to help inspire a student to learn.
