I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching
mathematics to all students, and my record documents this fact. As an undergraduate I studied education,
and acquired a secondary education license while pursuing a rigorous mathematics curriculum. At Dartmouth
I have devoted myself to helping my students learn the power and utility of mathematics. I strive to help
students learn how mathematics is a relevant, useful and even enjoyable part of their lives as they become
contributing members of society. I take pride in developing strong relationships with my students, and I
am strongly opposed to the “myth of ability” in mathematics. My passion is making mathematics accessible. After high school I was underwhelmed by mathematics.

James E - Barton, VT 05822 (29.9 mi) - Praxis Exam Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I think that teachers need to be flexible, and be willing to adapt their teaching style to suit the needs of their students. This is especially true for tutors who are often involved in a one-on-one relationship with those they tutor. I'm patient and respectful of the difficulties students have with expressing their thoughts in words. It's not unusual that they get frustrated trying to fit them into what can seem like a formal and obstuctive grammatical framework. Math is also a subject with which people often have difficulty. Being empathetic to their struggles helps to overcome them. My experience has been that most who struggle with it do pretty well with math if they make the effort. I have eight years experience teaching Math at Lyndon State College in Vermont and at Lorain County Community College in Elyria, Ohio. I was also a writing tutor at The Writing Center at Lyndon State.
