AKirabo Tutoring
About
I started tutoring as an undergraduate in 2013. I then worked as a physics teaching assistant for my last year of college. I have a BS in Mathematics from University of Hartford and a MS in Applied Mathematics from California State University, Northridge (CSUN).
I worked as a Teaching Associate within the Math department at CSUN and received glowing reviews from former students in the end of semester faculty reviews as well as on Rate My Professor.
I enjoy the moment the student becomes excited, this is typically when they say "Ooooh, I get it" or even when they become inspired to try a question on their own. As a mathematician, I am always so encouraged to see when someone finally sees that math is not hard, it is simply a game of numbers that one needs to learn how to play.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Before meeting with a student, I ask them to send me information about the course they are taking and what textbook is being used.
At the beginning of a session, I make it clear to the student that they should feel and always comfortable to ask a question at any point during the session, including any questions they might think are 'stupid'. There are no 'stupid' questions in math.
I make sure to check with them to see if they understood/remember the foundational topics that would be helpful to approach the topic at hand before proceeding.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS in Mathematics (University of Hartford) and a MS in Applied Mathematics (Cal State, Northridge). I worked as a graduate teaching associate at Cal State for more than 2 years, and have tutored mathematics for the last 7 years.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
If they think it, they need to ask about it. That is the only way to get direction and help
