I recently graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in high school math education. I've always been very passionate about mathematics, and ever since my first year of college when I started tutoring (both privately and through Mathnasium), I've loved being able to share that passion with my students! My goal is to help all of my students become curious and invested in math, and hopefully see that with the right framing, it can be fun and rewarding too.

With this goal in mind, my focus when I tutor is to help my students construct their own knowledge through guided problem-solving. I feel that simply showing a student how to do something is not sufficient for them to learn; for true learning to take place, it's not enough to understand the 'what' - you also need to understand the 'why' and 'how.' In my experience, this happens most effectively when you allow your student the freedom and autonomy to try different approaches; when you create a learning environment where making mistakes is a natural and necessary aspect of learning; and where you can adapt the content to be more meaningful to each student as an individual. In this way, students will have a deeper understanding of the material, and they will not only be able make connections across different subjects, but they will also be able to apply their learning to solve real-world problems.
