Algebra I is one of my top subjects! I have experience using basic Algebraic principles for over 15 years in my education. I am skilled in mathematics, having been placed in excelled courses during middle school and high school. I completed math up to Calculus II in undergraduate coursework, and have taken more than 30 hours of statistical coursework in graduate school. Statistics use a TON of math :)
My teaching style is VERY approachable. I like to break down elaborate concepts and apply them directly to everyday occurrences as much as possible. For example, when I would teach middle school students math such as fractions and percentages, I would relate these to money so as not complicate understanding. I also use every day occurrences to explain statistics. For example, if I'm interested in why people decide to buy a car (outcome), I'm interested in miles per gallon of gas, crash safety, and tire tread (independent variables). I would use a linear regression to determine the variable that has the most significant affect on predicting the outcome.
My experience has led to three college degrees, and a world of experience housed in science and mathematics. I have also mentored 12 undergraduates as a graduate student. These students have gone on to present projects at professiona ... read more
