I believe that learning a foreign language is hugely rewarding for...

...material, I am also happy to provide that, but I find it is best covered within the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within math, I tutor nearly every subject. Particular areas of expertise include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus (1, 2, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC).

...I stress self-help strategies to ensure that students do not become dependent on the crutch of a tutor or teacher. Often, a student may work well with an instructor but is unable to solve problems or understand concepts alone.

I do not give out any rules unless the student understands how the rule was established. Through...

I do my absolute best...
