Adonai's Math And SAT Tutoring
About
I have been tutoring for years. I first math tutored voluntarily at my high school to struggling students after school. I have a strong mastery of all high school mathematical concepts up until calculus. I also scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT (1500). I was an SAT tutor for the nonprofit student led organization, EduVisa.
I am passionate about teaching because tutoring other students gives me a constant challenge to better my own understanding of the material. Explaining a concept simply to another person is the test for whether you understand it yourself, as quoted by Albert Einstein. I believe in this because tutoring other students over the years has allowed me to test and further improve my own grasp.
