I've been tutoring middle- and high-school math students for over 4 years and absolutely love my work!
As a professional educator, it is so rewarding to work one-on-one with struggling students and give them the attention and help they need. When I taught public school 6th grade math, I had 150 students and was unable to understand the needs of each one. I knew I was letting kids "slip through the cracks." In a private tutoring situation, that can't happen. I clearly see what my students can and can't understand, and then I have the opportunity to explain it in multiple ways, taking our time until it clicks.
I also tutor because I'm passionate about kids! I value children and don't want them to unnecessarily feel like failures. Math is not everyone's forte, but it should be accessible to all students.
And finally, I'm mad about math. The world around us is full of order, beauty, and rhythm that many people never notice, and certainly never relate directly to mathematics. I've seen how math is taught in school and it makes me cringe! I've heard countless students complain about how much they hate math. My passion is to make math more friendly, more understandable, and more applicable to as many kids as possible. I firmly believe our lives would be much worse off without a good grasp of math.
If anyone needs a helping hand, give me a ring. If anyone needs tips for tutoring, I have a few of those too!
