Experience Summary
I have worked as a supervisor of the IUPUI Mathematics Assistance Center (MAC) since 2003. I was also a professional tutor of Mathematics registered at the Bepko Learning Center at the IUPUI. I have been teaching Mathematics at Ivy Tech Community College since August 2010. I am currently teaching Intermediate Algebra at IUPUI and College Algebra at Ivy Tech Community College. I am one of the teachers with the best and highest scores from students feedback and evaluation.
Teaching Style
- Students may have various problems with a certain subject or in a certain subject area. For example, the most common problem is lack of "self-confidence" in doing certain Math Problems. Thus, they feel uncertain while they are on the right track or even their answers are correct. Hence, they look for others' "confirmation". So, I do observe and figure out those problems first and then I help the student to adjust or fix that problem by supporting them to overcome them.
- I am very thorough and detailed while explaining.
- I give appropriate and suitable examples to explain.
- I give reasons why and how things are like that or as they are.
- I am much more concerned about my students' success than my own time and money.
- I am very friendly, kind, polite, respectful and easy going to my students.
- I also have another degree in the area of Philosophy and Religion and I use it.
