Award-Winning Intermediate Algebra Tutors serving Maryland

...students in math, economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind....

...to discover new concepts in an adaptable environment, mathematical ideas can really "sink" in. My personal style is to put less emphasis on rote and memorization (which can be overwhelming) while delving more into truly understanding what is being taught. This makes homework quicker and test time easier - especially for those who get stressed during exams. I recognize that every person learns differently, so we will take time to tailor our sessions to your...

...or in the textbook. I find that this technique works very well with math and physics, where understanding the theory is often the key to being able to see a problem and find the right path to a solution. I also try to apply this method to test preparation, so that students aren't just following a test-taking strategy because they were told to, they are using that strategy because they were encouraged to discover it...
