Hi my name is Andrew, and I'm pursuing a degree in medical physics. As a physicist, I've found that teaching others is the best way for me to study. In that, I love figuring out the best and most intuitive ways to explain things. Make complex concepts easy to understand, with everyday analogies and simple wordings. Einstein said, "if you can't explain something simply, then you don't understand it, " and I live by that. I've excelled in being a tutor in the past, helping K-12 students in math, science, English, social sciences, etc. I hope to continue to foster a welcoming and understanding learning environment with students again. Remember:

  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning
  • They have a learning disability

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.
