Problem solving is my passion. Getting over a hurdle of a difficult problem you did not know you could solve creates a foundational pride. Learning mathematics is a skill that can build confidence in any area, as it fundamentally demonstrates that one can do what ever they put their mind to, no matter how hard. I want to help build that in others so that they have confidence to follow their dreams, whatever they may be.

How did you get started teaching?
I was a part of a voluteer program in highschool where we tutored the local elementary & middle school students. I also tutored piano in highschool.
What types of students have you worked with?
Children, teens, and college students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who speaks to your way of reasoning. Often times struggling in a class or subject is due to the conflict between learning style and information presentation.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would say in my experience as a student and a tutor that the best results come from when the student can identify the source of confusion: whether it be a passage in you textbook, a misunderstanding of a particular topic from lecture, or a specific problem you find yourself stuck on. Bring this source directly to your teachers and they should be happy to answer any of your questions.
