About Me

I was presented with an opportunity to teach while I finished my last few semesters of my undergraduate degree and I continued to teach throughout my graduate degree. It has been said that those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. I strongly disagree. I believe that in order toeffectively tell the story of any subject, one must be aware of all of the hidden objects in the dark room. In order to teach effectively, you have to know how to navigate the dark room as if the lights are on. I believe that teaching is the highest form of understanding and that those who trulyunderstand, teach. As a teacher, you get to the chance to connect to students in a completely unique and rewarding way. I have yet to find a way to better describe my love for teaching. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I do not fit the "nerd" stereotype. I grew up playing every sport under the sun. I started playing baseball and basketball when I was 6, started playing football when I was in 5th grade and picked up golf and track in high school. I grew up in the Black Hills in South Dakota and am the complete outdoors man at heart. I love to hike, camp, hunt, fish and archery. In my spare time, I also love to run, bike and read (all sorts of books!). I love to play the guitar and have been playing for about 12 years now. I play mostly for myself but will only sing if I'm alone (or if my girlfriend asks).

Q&A with Jordan

I believe that people don't hate math; they hate being confused and intimidated by math. With understanding comes passion. A good teacher is a doctor who heals ignorance, and an artist who inspires creativity. It is more important to teach someone how to think, not what to think. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
