I attended the University of Massachusetts for two years, in which time I obtained a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and a B.S. in Pure Mathematics. I am especially passionate about tutoring mathematics, given that I have a very thorough understanding of all facets of the subject, and have always been gifted at helping pass that understanding onto my students. I also tutor subject tests, such as the SAT, ACT, and AP tests, and can give my tutees a feeling of true confidence when they sit down to take those exams. I have found that the biggest obstacle that students face is a lack of self-esteem, and approach my clients with the hope of teaching them self-assurance first, and the subject matter second. I lead my students to an understanding of their classwork by showing them that they have all of the tools for learning right in front of them, and that if they are doing the best work that they can, they have nothing to worry about. I strive to show students that they can always accomplish academic success, and give them the ability to better themselves both with my guidance and individually.
