Experience Summary
I have a wealth of experience in tutoring other students. As a student ambassador at Sanford Brown College, I volunteered my time in tutoring over 100 adult students in both math and accounting courses. Nearly 95% of those students received passing grades in the courses I tutored in. The majority of the students I tutored were taking Algebra, a subject that many of them hadn't been exposed to for up to 30 years. As a graduate student at Webster University, I work part-time as a peer tutor for other graduate students. I currently tutor at Webster in the subjects of Accounting, Finance, Advanced Corporate Finance, and Business Statistics.
Teaching Style
One thing that I have learned as a math tutor is that not every student learns the same way. I try to analyze not only how they perceive math, but I also look at some of their previous work to deduce what mistakes they are making and (more importantly) if they are making the same mistakes over and over. I also try to boost their confidence, as most people that struggle with math experience either frustration or fear. My goal is not to help the student with their homework; it's to help them understand the concepts being taught in class as well as building their level of confidence. This is the way that they ultimately learn in any math course.
