Experience Summary
After several changes in intended career direction and four years of general education with an pre-engineering emphasis, I have earned my associates degree and transfered to the University of Oregon as a pre-math major. I expect to have my bachelor's degree in two years and am doing so with tutoring as an occupation in mind. I own a small business, am familiar with independent contracting, do photo manipulation freelancing in my spare time and am enthusiastic about the possibilites Advanced Learners may hold for me. I volunteer with the Friends of Oregon Wilderness, and am an assistant organizer for the Bend hiking meetup group. I expect to be volunteer tutoring GED candidates for COCC in the next few weeks.
Teaching Style
I strive to understand the underlying concepts in every piece of mathematics I do. I wish to inspire a similar understanding in my students by asking questions that provoke them to reach for, and obtain the answer for themselves. Answer keys, or too much help is never beneficial in the long run and math is a requirement for every college degree. It is never too early to start building a strong foundation based on a thorough understanding of core concepts.
