...UT Austin during my undergraduate years. I understand that books can be hard to decipher quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question...

...early mathematics courses such as trigonometry, algebra and elementary statistics. While at my university I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion.

This ability to think about problems is not limited...

...big education obstacle. I can tutor in elementary and middle school Math and Reading, Grammar and Mechanics, English, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology. My favorite of these would have to be in the sciences and test prep.

However, everyone learns differently, so...
