Experience
ACT: 35 SAT Subject Tests: Math II - 800 Physics - 800 My educational experiences spans through 6 years of tutoring services and volunteering at a Math School for children. Both of these have formed skills that allow me not just to teach mathematics, but to shed light for some on what would otherwise be an academic field full of uncertainty. I have thoroughly studied mathematical subjects ranging from pre-algebra and algebra/geometry, to trigonometry and pre-calculus, and even multi-variable calculus and through experiences interacting with peers and elders, I am able to fully communicate my knowledge to my students. With over 4 students in higher level mathematics courses such as trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus, I have over 3 full years of experience helping more grown-up students. However, 2 years of tutoring students in algebra and geometry have also given me the experience of working with younger students much the same way. As an individual, I myself am involved in the educational process, so I know what it is like to be a student in this modern era. Because of this, I recognize the importance of a quality student-focused tutoring experience while also keeping the material interesting and the lessons convenient. Often when I encounter tutors helping children, I see the same picture: a tutor more fixated on the clock than the student and as a result, disorganized work and explanations. Personally, I think this is unjust; as a tutor, I understand that my duty is not to sit with a student for an allotted time period; it is to work with them until they understand the material fully.
