I have a B.S. in Mathematics, and have been working as a private tutor for several years now. I have worked with students across a wide range of ages between 8th grade to adults returning to college. I try to focus on helping students overcome the difficulties that prevent them from participating in their classes, and encourage them to be more independent. Most often these difficulties often range from inexperienced study skills, insufficient time for classwork, long absence from school, and deficiencies in prerequisite material. Personally, I like math. I'm fascinated by the different fields and the history of how people solve new problems. While I find math exciting and interesting to study, I do realize not everyone needs to know Calculus or Abstract Algebra to be successful. If you are the kind of person who doesn't like math, that's okay. I have experience adapting material to different learning methods.
