Cade's Math Tutoring

Typically, I would want to first go over what they think about math overall as a subject, since difficulty can often to lead to a disliking of math. It is important to stress how although math is hard, it is a subject that we have a lot of use for, despite technology being able to do a lot of quick calculations for us.

After figuring out what their general perceptions are, it is important to find out what they are currently struggling in and set a goal for them to overcome it, so that we can measure progress over time.

I am currently pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering, which requires me to have a high-level of math aptitude in order to succeed. Additionally, I have maintained a high GPA throughout both highschool (4.0 cumulative unweighted) and college (3.92 cumulative unweighted), with good grades in all taken math courses.

I believe that it is important to offer fair pricing for my level of experience, so I price myself at a lower pricing point than my competitors (currently $20/session). However, this does not mean that I do not try as hard to ensure that you will leave my lessons feeling just as good, if not better, than any other math tutors available.

Since I am studying to be an engineer, I have lots of friends and former classmates (including high school and college) that have asked me for my help with their math homework. I realized that I was generally able to help them better understand the concepts that they were struggling with, and this let me know that I could start to teach people that I did not directly know.

I generally work with students my age, since these are the people that know me and ask for help. However, I have tons of experience with children as well from other jobs (like being a summer camp counselor), so I would be able to help them as well.

It is amazing how everything we take for granted becomes so much more apparent after we must practice social distancing. I recently took a stroll down the river walk in downtown Chicago, and the beauty of the city hit me like it has never done before.

I would say that you should pick someone that is best able to conceptualize themselves being in your situation rather than someone who can only conceptualize the mathematical concepts. It is important that they especially know where most people can make mistakes, which is a part of the learning process and should not be discouraged.

It is important to discuss your strengths and weaknesses as a student, because not everyone is perfect (including me). We can work together on what you think your weaknesses are by taking advantage of your strengths, and it allows us to know where more help may be needed to promote your success.
