My qualifications include excelling at all high school math competitions...

I have always enjoyed being able to help other people and my somewhat unique outlook on mathematics, coupled...

...luckily, I've been trained in how to keep them interested through both connecting to my students and involving them in their learning process. I do this by structuring my lessons around discussions that do not rely only on me just giving them information (unless it is necessary), but instead help them practice the critical thinking that leads them to coming up with solutions themselves. This has proven to be more effective than the "lecture" or...
