I will understand where each student struggles and try to make them comfortable with every question they encounter! I think a big problem that students have with teachers is that they teach for questions and not concepts. I will help students with hard concepts by relating real world or exaggerated examples, and I find that this really helps students.

I love tutoring all types of math as well as some sciences such as chemistry and physics. I have experience in all of these subjects for students from grades 7 to students in college.

I am majoring in computer science with minors in cognitive science, math, and music. While not tutoring, I often play the drums or read non-fiction. I also like to compose and listen to music.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

To ensure that the student completely understands each question and why certain strategies work and why others do not.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Assess what he or she knows and then come up with a plan to help such as focusing on weak areas and reinforcing concepts.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I will teach them how to think and how to relate problems to the real world. That way, students will use strategies that they understand, and not one that a teacher just gave them and they use without understanding.
