I've been tutoring for 5 years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever been given the opportunity to do! I believe that tutoring is a back and forth system. 50% me, 50% you. And with a little touch of fun, that's how we'll get the 100%. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and photography. In addition to that, I am a psychology and marketing major in college.

...a toolbox of essential skills and knowledge to combat more difficult problem solving. I believe I am an outstanding math tutor due the combination of my current standing and levels of experience.

...with students from China who were taking the TOEFL exam. I like to teach by first letting the student try the problem on their own. Then, I like to go through each step of the problem with the student until they understand. Finally, I let the student try a similar problem on their own to test their understanding. I think it is also a good idea to include visuals/models or examples in order to further...

...the University of Iowa, I taught History of Theatre, Playwriting I, and Script Analysis. In both History of Theatre and Script Analysis, I required my students to write a well-developed, compelling, argumentative paper.
