Experience Summary
My experience as a tutor began with my younger sister. When she was a sophomore, then later a junior, I taught her Algebra 2 and, later, Functions Statistics and Trigonometry. She passed both classes, remaining on the honor roll.
My next tutoring experience was in tutoring my fifth-grade cousin. At the end of two months, he won the math award at his school.
Since then, I have tutored students in College Algebra, High School Algebra, Basic Math, and Junior High Algebra. I have enjoyed this experience immensely and have seen positive results.
Teaching Style
From my experience as a math student, I have seen that the best approach to teaching math is to make it highly step-by-step. My teaching style is highly logical, making sure the student understands the process for themselves. I can teach using words or pictures and adjust the pace according to the ability of the student.
My Hobbies
Drawing, cycling, reading, writing.
| Algebra |
Proficiency: Experienced

| Geometry |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Experienced
|
| As an engineering student, I have used geometry (correctly) for the past four years and throughout high school. Geometry is extremely useful and enjoyable once mastered. I am a visual learner and logical thinker. The equations and proofs involved in geometry come naturally. |
| Math |
Proficiency: Experienced
|
| I have taken four semesters of Calculus at Grand Rapids Community College and now use the material at the Grand Valley College of Engineering. I have kept up my proficiency in previous courses by tutoring students in those courses. I enjoy teaching the subject now that I know the theory behind it. |
| Pre-Algebra |
Proficiency: Experienced
|
| Pre-Algebra is something I did not appreciate until I took higher-level courses, but now that I know why it is important, I enjoy the concepts of algebra and its prerequisite. See my "Math" comments for my experience. I have used the concepts of Pre-Algebra every day for the past four years and more. |
| Trigonometry |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Experienced
|
| I have used trigonometry (correctly) in almost every engineering, drafting, and physics problem for the past four years and more. Trigonometry can be learned by anyone if taught correctly and the motivation is there. |
