Math Tutoring For K-12
About
Hello, I am a junior at DePaul University majoring in math with a concentration in applied math. I really enjoy talking about and explaining math to people and I hope I can bring that same joy to your student. I am comfortable teaching basic arithmetic up through calculus. I am flexible with my teching methods but I generally like to start by introducing a concept and encouraging students to think about it. Then I explain the math behind the concept and then finally explain its applications to the real world. Through this process, I hope I can be beneficial to your childs education and future endeavors with math. Thank you!
I like that I get to talk about the joys math. I like explaining how abritrary math problems look in our daily lives and what the importance is. Its always beautiful when a student makes that connection to the real world and is also able to be excited about math.
