My teaching style is student centered based upon their individual learning styles.

I have tutored both in and out of an academic setting, both in schools and at the students home. I am highly qualified to tutor all ages and levels of math, science, english, english language, spanish, writing and SAT prep.

Previous students have often remarked on my practical teaching style, relying on real world examples and explanations for business and mathematics. The only way to remember information long term is to relate it to something tangible, especially in subjects like statistics and economics. Relating the ephemeral to the practical is important, and later allows for the information to be used in a real world setting much, much easier. I have tutored people since third grade, and have recently graduated with my masters in business administration with honors. As consistently as I have tutored, I have also excelled in an academic atmosphere and would love to share my knowledge of test taking skills and subject knowledge. I have had a wide focus throughout my experiences, with emphasis on statistics, essay writing, and business theory, and I have also done university research on neurophysics m

I help point to the truth, aiding the student in discovery. I try to avoid being overly didactic, and prefer to work by asking questions. The most satisfying thing about teaching is being able to witness and participate in the process of comprehension. As an undergraduate I worked at the mathematics tutor lab in our department. As a PhD student I both taught and assisted in the teaching of mathematics courses at the university level. Also I have experience with privately tutoring elementary, jr. high and high school students.
