I am extremely passionate about mathematics, but I know that the average person can find it daunting and impossible. Many times, students express to me that they are just "bad at math" and they create a barrier for themselves. I'm a firm believer that anyone can learn how to do math well, it just takes some patience, hard work, and, for some, a good guide along the way.

...as a past teacher's assistant in the language class, I learned to develop the most effective way to teach my native language to a student who is new to my language.

I have experience tutoring at all levels, and one of my primary focus is to incorporate dialogic discourse into all of my tutoring sessions. This is a special type of teaching philosophy which focuses on allowing students to reach the answers rather than just showing them the right solution. I believe that a combination of dialogic discourse, critical thinking, and interest is necessary to truly understand a subject well.
