Who says you can't use Pokemon to teach math, Minecraft...

...to teach and started doing so at an early age. I would tutor my younger siblings and it gave me so much joy to see them succeed as it does now.

...the Institute of Industrial Engineers during my years in college, and have worked in an elementary school environment where my duties as a technology coordinator occasionally required me to instruct students. For me, the biggest thrill in any job is visibly seeing that "light bulb moment" as someone crosses the boundary between confusion and understanding. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your tutor, and I'm hoping to hear from you soon!

...How I approach them depends on their understanding and participation. I ask many questions to guide them along until they learn the process of solving the problems. Students must be able to relate one kind of problem to the next. What are the similarities and what are the differences? What strategies can be used? There are often multiple strategies, what is the best one for the student? I truly feel that all students can grasp...

I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered...

The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework.
