Ryan Melton Math Tutoring

I am a high school math teacher and I am very passionate about helping others at all levels of math. As a tutor, I am extremely patient and can always try a different way to explain and simplify a math concept. I always maintain a positive attitude and try my best to make it a fun experience, while also making sure we both stay on task and get everything figured out.

Ever since I can remember in school, math came very naturally to me and I always loved helping my classmates through their math struggles. I helped one of my best friends who really struggled in math improve his grade in Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, and College Algebra while we were in high school, which finished his college math requirement. This was extremely rewarding and sparked my interest in both math tutoring and teaching. I also earned the class award for College Algebra during my senior year which was an honor.

After I graduated from Ste. Genevieve High School, I attended Southeast Missouri State University to earn my Bachelors in high school math education. I created study groups in all of my math courses and helped many classmates when we would meet up at Kent Library to work on the homework and study for exams. I also worked at the Math Lab on campus for walk-in math tutoring for several semesters. I had a few private tutoring sessions as well, one of which was a longterm gig with a student who liked my walk-in tutoring so much that he asked if I would also do private tutoring to help him pass Statistics. While it was quite a challenge for him, I was so happy when I found out he passed the class when he was not looking like he would. Overall I was so happy to gain all of these rewarding tutoring experiences throughout college.

I am currently in my 2nd year as a high school math teacher. I enjoy teaching many students at once but honestly I still prefer the moments when I'm answering a question or helping a student one on one. I think it is so much easier to learn from one on one instruction than whole group instruction which is why I am here on this platform, to help those students who are too shy to ask their teacher a question in front of everyone, or the students who don't want to feel less intelligent than their friends by asking for help, etc. I look forward to you giving me a chance to help you out in math!
