Experience
Mathematics is my bread and butter and I want to help you! I see mathematics as a world carefully tucked in the dustiest corners of our minds just waiting to be discovered, and I want everybody to know about it. I am superb at what I do because I have made all the mathematical mistakes you have made and probably more. Coaching high school wrestling has given me the ability to recognize strengths and weaknesses in order to push one’s mental capacity to improve one’s mathematical intuition and help make sense of the subject matter. I have over 700 clocked in tutoring hours with over 50 students. I will mold the curriculum to your specific personality and learning style. I love breaking down the concepts that seem challenging. After all, the fun stuff in mathematics happens when they challenging parts come into play! Identifying computational and conceptual flaws seems to be the name of the game and it’s important to isolate and correct those errors. This is where tutoring gets exciting for me; nothing is more rewarding than the “Ah-ha!” moments. I like to emphasize “Learning how to learn” because I’ve certainly learned the hard way. Time is valuable so techniques involving proper note taking, time management, organization, preparation of tests, and study habits are crucial.
