About Me

Generally, I think most students learn best from working through problems. However, every student is different. Some students benefit more from working through as many problems as possible so they get to evaluate their progress frequently. Other students don't benefit from this approach as much, but instead benefit more from considering possible problems and feeling comfortable discussing problems and concepts. I think what's most important for a tutor to reach success with a student is to listen carefully to the student and adapt the sessions for that individual student. I am a very popular tutor because I help you discover your true potential. I listen very carefully to what you know and I bring you to the next level. I have taught math at the high school and college level, ranging from algebra through statistics. I have also worked as an MCAT instructor and an academic support specialist for various mathematics topics in addition to chemistry, physics, and organic chemistry.

Q&A with Travis

I think it is most important to be a good listener if you are a teacher. You need to listen to the student carefully to make sure that you can optimize their independent learning as much as possible. Some students benefit most by working through many problems, whereas others learn better with a more abstract conceptual approach. Some students are more visual learners, and others are more auditory. Some are more concrete, and some are more abstract. It is important to consider teaching a dialogue that you and the student must share, and what is most important is that you listen in that process.
