I understand that not everybody is comfortable with math so I make every effort to speak to my students in a manner they can understand and learn the necessary terminology over time with patience and compassion. I carry modeling clay, paper, scissors, markers, transparancies... anything to help students see and understand the concepts. I always try to remember the struggles and emotions I encountered during my math education so that I can empathize with my students and respect their fears and individual needs. I also believe that the only way to understand math is to put in the time and make mistakes, so I will never give up on or loose patience with a student that shows good work ethic and continues to try.
I specialize in individual and small group math tutoring for students studying at the 7th Grade to Calculus I levels, as well as test preparation for math content.
