  • In short, knowing and teaching are two different things.

About Me

In math, this would mean NOT moving on too quickly from one concept to the next, which is what separates good math teachers from the not so good ones. I make absolutely sure my students have internalized step A and can perform it by themselves before moving onto step B. Like the floors of a building, math concepts build on each other and must be fully understood so the structure remains stable. I know my Algebra and Geometry through and through, but perhaps most importantly, I have a knack for teaching it as well, with efficiency. I connect well with people, and am committed to making sure my students strive for success.

Hobbies & Interests

fitness & nutrition, running, helping my students succeed.

Q&A with Brent

Information, especially in math, builds on itself. If a student doesn't understand concept A, concept B will be that much harder to grasp. This is why it's important to make absolutely sure the student understands a concept before moving onto the next. If he or she "sort of" gets concept A, and "sort of" gets concept B, the building that is their math skills will be an unstable one, more like a house of cards.
