As an English major I have always enjoyed and excelled in the field. I was top of my class in high school. I also aided in the kindergarten class.

My learning and teaching preference is reading/writing. I adjust to students who are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. I like to use examples to drive concepts home, to make them relevant to my students' lives, and to ground these concepts in reality. Examples include, say, how geometry is used to create movie 3D special effects, or how algebra is used in sound editing in a sound studio. I also intersperse jokes and puns to help the student relax and be assured that (s)he is in a safe, secure environment for comfortable learning.

I really enjoy working one on one with students, because in a one on one situation, I am really able to tailor my teaching to the individual. I try and recognize where the student is strong, and encourage those traits, while recognizing where they need growth, and doing my best to help them grow in those areas. I am a good listener so I my tutoring sessions are focused on the student, and not on my own agenda. I love seeing students realize that they have the ability to learn math!
