Bandit Tutoring
About
I enjoy teaching others math and how it is applicable in the real world. I teach how to apply the concepts of math into everyday situations. It's not just memorizing how to do a problem, but understanding how and why it works. Math is difficult for a lot of people and they are generally terrified of math, but my teaching style creates confidence to complete any math problem.
I am a project engineer for a general contractor, which involves a ton of math. I work with money, dimensions, calculations, schedules and decide where to allocate limited resources.
All of the basic math principles are used on a day to day basis. A lot of my job requires me to explain the math behind decisions and teaching others how and why we make those decisions.
