I’m an architect, who learned to love numbers because of architecture, and then fell in love with teaching. Now I do Test Prep for the ISEE, PSAT, SAT, ACT and GRE, and coaching/ tutoring in math, science, geography, reading and coding. Whether you just want to fill in the gaps with classwork, are looking to get ahead and explore new topics, or need specific test preparation, I can help you:
• build numeracy
• simplify and dissect word problems,
• translate real world into math language, and vice versa
• understand mathematical concepts and terminology
• zoom in on problem areas
• develop self-checking tools to predict pitfalls and identify errors in thinking
I can show you test taking strategies, problem solving strategies, and other ways of thinking. Once you can see the elegance of math and science, it will never be the same. You could even find that you actually like it!
I am a fan of Singapore Math, Khan Academy, TEDxKids, Visioneering at SMU and SketchUp 3D graphics; and can also get you started with coding, robotics and 3D Cadd drawing
