  • Because of my previous experiences as a tutor, I was up for the new challenge.

About Me

During my Sophomore year, I became a Teacher's Assistant working in classes of 25-40 students. Throughout my various experiences, I learned that I had a knack for figuring out the way people think and what methods help certain people grasp a new concept best. A problem facing many students in Math is that many do not have a complete understanding of the prerequisite material. I am able to selectively review and and build a base for understanding current challenges. Not only do I enjoy helping students grasp new understandings of this material, but I also genuinely enjoy helping people learn about a subject that I am passionate about. It's great to be able to see my students improve their skills, while succeeding in subjects they might've had doubts on. No one genuinely hates math. The way that it was taught to you is a different story, however. Each person learns math differently, so they need to be able to find a way that connects the dots for them. Being a good tutor is the ability to not make a one-size fits all approach but rather to cater to each individual and make personalized plans for each student.
