Goff Math And General Tutoring

With any student, I believe it's important to first establish a good rapport with the student by listening to understand where they are struggling with the subject. By doing this, I'm able to start to see the student's unique learning style so I can develop a personalized plan for helping the student improve in areas where they are struggling.

I have a mathematics education bachelor's degree with an earned English minor. I also have four years of professional tutoring experience with my university's Academic Success Center.

My father taught in the school I went to as a kid. I was a wide-eyed kid who loved learning about everything, so between my interest in learning and parents who guided those interests, I was bound to become a teacher at some point. I studied math education in college, tutored while I was there, and now I'm here.

I have worked with a range of students, from students who just wanted to pass the class, to A+ students who just needed some help on more difficult topics, to those with documented exceptional learning needs. I believe each learner, regardless of classification, both needs and deserves an individualized training plan to help them meet their goals.

Always research the teachers you're looking at, to find out if they're qualified and able to teach you effectively. But don't forget that you get to choose your tutor, so look for someone that you think is interesting that you'll enjoy talking to! If tutoring is an experience you enjoy, you'll look forward to it each week instead of dreading it.

Make sure you think about if you're willing to put the work in. No good teacher is going to do your homework for you, but if a learner is willing to put in the effort to learn, a good teacher can take them anywhere they need to go.
