...being a student, I discovered that mathematics can never be understood without a pen and a pencil in hands. Math is not a reading subject where you can think and reason and discuss about your opinion. It is rather an absolute science where anyone agree to one and single outcome. Moreover, as I always tell my students, you can never finish better yourself through practice because practice makes perfect. Even the most intelligent student practices...

Math is exciting to tutor, especially using manipulatives and other forms of representation-we can do that visually online as we work together.

...has developed a reputation of being not fun. When students learn how to harness a difficult concept, questions are answered and new ones are discovered. I have studied motivation in educational contexts and have held various teaching/mentoring roles.

I try to put forth this effort...

In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new languages,...

...four years experience tutoring middle and high school age students, particularly in math and English, in the Los Angeles area. I am patient and understanding, and my goal is to foster a comfortable environment and mutual respect. I make sure that the students I work with know they are important and capable, because I have found that they are most willing to engage and put in effort when such a relationship exists between us.

...the University of Washington, I was fortunate to be exposed to very different learning and teaching styles.
