A Little Bit About Me...

I am a peer mentor and educator at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I have worked with children in Bright Lights and the Nebraska Human Resource Institute. I am a undergraduate student, majoring in biochemistry, at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I am a Regents Scholar at the University. I have completed a minor in math. I also work in student government, and I hold leadership positions on multiple boards on campus.
Fun and interactive. I make sure that a firm understanding is held before moving on to a more complex topic. I go at the pace desired by the student, and I want the learning environment to be comfortable.

A Little Bit About Me...

I process strong analytical and mathematical skills along with great interpersonal skills. Motivation, fun, self-development, and independence are my key teaching strategies. I want to give children the opportunity to learn.
I have a earned a BS in accounting. The degree in accounting has led me to have a better understanding of the accounting principles. My work experience in public accounting has given the opportunity to work with people. Years ago, I tutored students in mathematics.

Start with what the student knows and gradually into the new and unknown material. This way the student is guided seamlessly into the unknown using what he knows as a "bait". Math, and calculus for that matter, is best mastered by practice. As such, I prefer to guide the student into problem-solving immediately after the concepts are taught. This way misconceptions and erroneous interpretations are exposed through the errors made during the problem-solving.This goes to solidify the students overall learning experience an understanding.
As an undergraduate, I used to be frustrated with the idea that a teacher "knows his stuff but can't teach well". For me,the true proof of knowledge is to be able to communicate it, especially to those who have a different background.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy seeing expressions of accomplishment when students truly grasp various concepts. I expect and demand "excellence," recognizing that "excellence" is a term relative to the student. It seems to me that students retain information most successfully when it has been presented so as to be personally relevant, so I attempt to tailor examples to the student's background.
Most of my experience has been as an engineer. I have worked on projects in Europe, Asia, and all over North America. I got involved tutoring high school students while my sons were in high school. Recently, I completed an MA in Education, and taught science and math for about a year and a half in a couple of Louisiana High Schools. I have a broad background for providing real-world examples of implementations of math and science.
