Experience Summary
While completing the requirements for the minor in Math, I volunteered to tutor students for SAT-math. As a requirement for the Bachelor's degree, I took many math courses to prepare me for the engineering tasks that rely on math equations, such as design, analysis, and development. From day 1 to graduation day of college, I have used math concepts in school, at home, and at work. One of my private-tutoring students was a 15-year-old high school freshman who needed help in Algebra I; his test grades went from the 60s to the 80s. I am finishing up with another student who is a 17-year-old high school junior in preparing her for the SATs (math section).
Teaching Style
I like to first ask the students what specifically they feel they need help with in their subject. If the student does not know, then I give them some questions, from their subject, to answer. Then I evaluate their answers to get a feel for their approach in answering the questions. We then go over the questions together, and as I explain and get their feedback, I can get a feel for their learning style. This helps me cater to the students' learning needs so that the subject material is learned and understood better.
