...main subject I will be tutoring is mathematics ranging from Algebra to Pre-Calculus. My learning style is very visual and hands-on and my teaching style reflects that. I try to avoid complex jargon when it is not necessary and use many visual aids to get the main topic, theme, or process of the problem across. I listen to the problems of the student and will always try to put myself into their boots and try...

...my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions in organic chemistry to pragmatic analysis, is achievable. It's my job to help...

I worked with middle schoolers at a nearby after-school camp, helping them with various subjects such as math, the humanities, and the arts.
