About Me

I've tutored music theory and economic development. I've taught an aikido class with over thirty students, and I worked for a year assisting students with their writing in Oberlin College's writing center. I've spent years explaining jargon-heavy subjects in plain language, and I understand the importance of ensuring that students can do the same. I am ready to immediately begin tutoring for math, econ, and finance-heavy classes, because I emphasized them in my degree and because I reviewed them for the past nine months while studying for actuarial exams.

Q&A with Travis

To me, tutoring begins with understanding students’ goals and their preferred methods of learning so they can excel by whatever metric they expect to test. Students that reduce their goals to a series of problems force themselves to think more precisely about how to attain their goals, so my first lesson is always about how to specify a problem.
