Hi! My name is Josue and I'm currently a Senior Physics student attending Cal Poly Pomona. I've been tutoring for the past three years and have experience tutoring in tutoring centers as well as privately. Throughout my years of experience, I have tutored students from elementary school all the way to adults taking college courses. Because of this, I understand that each student is an individual that requires a specific form of teaching. I also understand that math isn't a very popular subject among students. Because of this, I try to get my students to engage with the material as much as possible. This helps them understand the importance of math skills in daily life. I prioritize understanding over memorization. Once the concepts are understood, memorization and retention of information are easier to achieve.
Due to the nature of my major, I work with math every day. I have a thorough understanding of math from elementary math through calculus.
There have been times in my educational career where I have sought help from tutors, therefore I know the importance of a patient and understanding tutor. Throughout elementary and middle school I attended a tutoring center which helped solidify my understanding of basic math concepts, therefore making future math classes easier for me to grasp. I understand how it feels to be stuck on a concept and getting frustrated. For this reason, I've decided to be a tutor; in order to help people that are in the same situation I've been before.
