Fanti Math Tutoring
About
I have always enjoyed math. Since I was in elementary school I excelled in all of my math and sciences classes. When I graduated I had college credits up to my junior year. Throughout high school, I was a rock climbing instructor. I typically ended up with students who had learning differences because the other instructors struggled. I loved every moment. Some days were harder than others but overall I saw their potential and I wanted to see them grow despite their challenges. In college, I originally went for Aerospace Engineering. I am currently reapplying to be an Architect but am excited to teach in the meantime.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step when working with new students is to get to know them and how they learn. This way I can adapt my teaching style to what will work best for them. I want to get them excited about learning so if this means we might play a game or maybe the student needs a more structured lesson to be the most successful. When it comes to learning I want them to see the big picture of how it works and why it works. I believe in diagnostic teaching where everything has a cause and effect. This will prepare them for the future and solidify their understanding early. I like to use rubric scoring for at-home work. This builds confidence while still allowing room for improvement. I want my students to learn to have confidence in their work and themselves. And we always end the lesson on a positive note (approved by the parents). So if they are struggling that day or are feeling down, it doesn't have to take away from their entire day.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Although I don't have a degree in teaching, I have experience in very high math classes. I also used to tutor in high school and even did my senior project as a teacher's assistant for my math and computer sciences teacher. I also have lots of experience working with kids and have done significant research to learn different methods when it comes to teaching. I also have my own experience with having an IEP in high school so I am always open to students that aren't meeting the standards in the traditional school environment.
