Current Undergrad, Mathematics/Physics Portland Community College

I am committed to giving my students all the necessary tools to succeed in math and science.
I take pride in my patience and listening skills, and believe that anyone can understand a concept if taught with the right method.

About Me

Math often becomes blurry to students, and they give up. My goal is to show them that math is not some magical unknown subject, but has very specific rules that tell you how to get the problem done. It can be very satisfying and even beautiful when something clicks in your brain. I intend to share that with students, so they can become more skilled at problem solving, and possibly build a love for math!

Hobbies & Interests

Math!! I also like guitar and singing and playing basketball.

Q&A with Gavin

My philosophy of teaching is listening based. I don't believe in harping at a student like I am the only one with something to say. I believe it is a process of growth in understanding for both the teacher and the student. I believe in getting on the student's level to see the problem from their point of view.
