  • I enjoy tutoring because it is easier to teach one person at a time then to try to cover material to a large group of students.

About Me

Student teaching with students from 8th-10th grade and tutoring a diverse groups of students in terms of age and culture at my university, I have built strong teaching skills that I can adapt based on a student's personal needs. I have also tutored and built strong math skills at my university for the following subjects: Algebra, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Probability and Statistics. This also gives students I tutor the opportunity to stop me when the math content becomes confusing. I feel that the best way to teach a tough section in a specific math subject is to start with an example and work each part out step by step with the student, while asking guiding questions to have the student work during the learning process. New concepts in math require a lot of background math skills. If a student does not remember those skills from the past, tutoring is a great way to refresh the student's memory and bring them back on the right track. Lastly, tutoring is enjoyable because I get to make a tough subject like math easier for students to comprehend. If I do my job as a tutor to make a student understand math content, I am serving my community and building a smarter and happier environment around me.

Q&A with Robert

Teaching mathematics to students is a tough job that involves a lot of work. Self-assessment, assessing students, goals for teaching mathematical learning, and methods of teaching mathematics are only a few stars in the universe that is mathematical teaching. Writing out my ideas has shown me that teaching math is a benefit both for me and the students I teach. Teaching students will give them mathematical knowledge that is needed when they want to pass their classes in college. They will also need math to calculate interest gained at the bank, amount of money owed for bills, building and fixing things around the house, and saving money and their lives. Teaching math gives me a better understanding of the diverse learners that surround my community. When I am having kids of my own, I will understand how to raise my own mathematicians as well as understand the educational levels of the students that one day will become friends with my kids. Educating kids is always helpful to build a happier community. If there are parents out there that cannot be there for their children, at least I am there to be of assistance to their children, so that the parents become proud of their kids who are great mathematicians. Providing knowledge to students with effective methods such as repetition, assessment, self-assessment, relating math to the real world, and learning math as a language can build a greater advancement to mathematical education to create happier communities for peace in the neighborhood. Math is just one subject to learn, but the more our kids become knowledgeable of the world around them, the wiser decisions they make for the people around them. That is my main goal for me in math education: to make a wiser and happier community.
