About
I will make sure that the student learns the material that is required. The teaching method that I usually follow is the Socratic Method. I will also try my best to make the tutoring sessions fun and relate the lessons to real life experiences if needed. I have experience tutoring high schoolers and college students. I have also helped middle school students and elementary school students with assignments.
I love explaining concepts to people and see their smile when they finally understand something that they were struggling with. If you want to contact me, please text (331) 201-5866 and say you found me on tutors.com. Again my number is three. three. one. two. zero. one. five. eight. six. six.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually try to get to know my students at a personal level so I can get an understanding of what they are interested in. I do this to see if I can implement something of my student's interest into what we are learning and to try to make it more fun for them. I also sometimes use this information to make it more simple to understand certain subjects if I see that they are struggling in understanding a concept.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a high school diploma from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. I have gone to college for one year so far.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching when I was in high school by teaching elementary, middle school, and high school kids in various subjects such as different levels of math and sciences. When I was in college I became a math tutor for all of the math general education courses and some of the specialized math classes.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
This event took place almost 4 years ago, but there was one kid that other tutors have given up on, but I like a challenge so I decided to try to help him understand. I talked to the student and realized that he was into cars so I implemented that into an engineering lesson that was being taught about kinetic and potential energy. That was one of the first lessons that I helped him understand and later I helped him understand other lessons through car references when I could. I still remember the student's smile when he understood the lessons and that made me feel happy.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The advice that I would give a student looking to hire a teacher in my area of expertise is to select a teacher that they feel comfortable around or that they think seem friendly so that they are comfortable asking them questions.
