Junior High/HS Math Tutor
About
I enjoy working with the junior high and high school age level. Working with students on math and making it relatable and easier to understand are how I like to teach. I make my students think of how concepts would work in real life and what is important to take away from different types of math. We talk a lot in my classroom about seeing if our answers make sense so that they can self-check their work.
My personality goes well with teaching math to this age group. I am a people person for sure and enjoy being around others. While I like working on math problems, I also am realistic about the way students may perceive it to be and why they struggle with it.
I have been teaching math for many years and have been working with this age group even longer. I used to coach at the college level as well. I am passionate about helping students and athletes gain confidence and grow into themselves as people. I enjoy a mentor-type role and am happy to use my experiences to help relate to them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Getting to know the student and their specific needs is very important. It is important to know how a student thinks and approaches things as they work on new concepts and even more so, how to help them after they have learned something and need continuing work.
