I still, however, relish any opportunity to work with people, whether as a counselor, instructor, or colleague. I know I can be of value to anybody who wants to understand mathematics on a deeper level and I look forward to helping students achieve their...

...tutor are Japanese and different levels of mathematicsfields that I particularly loveas well as standardized test preparation (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT). I have found that studying becomes more enjoyable and effective when content is connected with examples of application.

...thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of...

While at UAA I also worked as a math tutor for 5 years, tutoring college students from ages 17-75, in subjects ranging from arithmetic to calculus.

Those who believe themselves to be "bad at math" do not yet have the tools necessary to find that ideal way for new problems, and thus teachers must try new approaches to find out how to teach their students best. There is no one size fits all in education. Remember these words as you grow towards excellence: Stupidity is not ignorance; it is refusing to fill that ignorance with knowledge....
