About
I am a very patient guy, and I am currently a sophomore at Penn State, so I have finished high school and I am aware of what the usual struggles are in each subject. I have also helped a number of my classmates acheive mastery in topics that were unfamiliar to them.
Honestly, my favorite thing is just helping understand. Learning shouldn't be a huge struggle, and with the right help it can even be fun.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I would discuss the students learning style, this way I can try to tailor my explinations to what they understand best. Then I would see what their level of understanding of the material is, usually this entails an example problem or two. Here I would try to explain the correct pathway to the problem type, and why it works that way. Often this may entail going backward in the education tree to see where the misunderstanding first began.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with 2 students, one who was ADHD and did not understand math through calculus, and another who was struggling with kinematics in physics. I do not have a lot of professional experience, but I love to help kids learn.
