I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I am currently a Junior at The University of Alabama pursuing degrees in both Mathematics & Economics. After I graduate, I intend to stay at Alabama to get an M.A. in Economics. I have been tutoring both Math and ACT Prep since I was a Sophomore in High School. After 4 years of experience, I continue to enjoy tutoring these subjects, and the constant challenge of improving my abilities and techniques. I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping those I tutor improve their grades, test scores, and overall understanding of the subjects I am teaching them. Not only do I focus on the subject matter being taught, but I also focus on helping students develop the study skills and habits that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style to fit each individual student.

The unit circle, identities, and inverse trig functions all become far more manageable when a student understands what sine and cosine actually represent geometrically. Braden uses trig daily in his Audio Engineering coursework at Belmont, where sound waves are literally sinusoidal functions, giving him a concrete way to explain concepts like phase shifts and amplitude that most textbooks leave abstract.

I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.

Trig can feel like a wall of formulas unless someone connects the unit circle back to the triangles it came from.
