Experience Summary
Since I was a child in elementary school, I have driven to achieve educational excellence for myself and to help and encourage those in my community to achieve the same. As a high school student, I tutored elementary aged kids and when I went on to college I was the director of an after school tutoring program sponsored by the Nashville Public Library. I was later employed by a private tutoring company called Club-Z tutoring. I have always had a passion for math, which made it possible for me to excel in math related subjects and helped me to graduate with dual degrees from Tennessee State in mathematics and electrical engineering. While I have tutored in chemistry, reading, English, and helped with papers, I find the most satisfaction in tutoring in math of all difficulties ranging from arithmetic to advanced calculus.
Teaching Style
I enjoy teaching others but I am most satisfied when they are learning and enjoying learning. I have fun with my students. From my experience I’ve learned that the best way to learn something is to explain and teach it to someone else. This is one of the methods that I use with my students. It helps me to identify the areas that they lack understanding and presents an opportunity for me to correct and teach. It also builds their confidence in their knowledge. When working with my students I have noticed that the most important part of the teaching process is to help them to overcome their intimidation and lack of confidence in their ability to conquer the material so it is important for me to not only teach them the material, but to build their confidence as I am teaching. I know that I have been successful when not only do my students grasp and master the material, but they do it with confidence.
