...chemistry, and I'm currently a high school math teacher. In my graduate program, I taught small-sized undergraduate courses. I also have experience tutoring undergraduates and high school students one-on-one. After experiencing both, I believe a learning is much easier to facilitate in a one-on-one or small group setting. In this setting, I can observe how a student thinks and tailor my teaching style in a way that would most benefit the student.... Generally, the process of learning involves first mastering the basics and then building upon them. I believe that this applies whether you are learning math or learning how to dance. I find that reviewing basic concepts and learning how they apply solves most problems that students encounter.

Explore multiple ways of explaining the concept using analogies.... By breaking down words to their etymological meaning, and taking it one word at a time.
