About
Having tutored students for 15+ years I know that everyone has a different learning style, I enjoy breaking down math concepts in a fun and creative way according to each student's learning style. I have tutored elementary to college students in math. I have a BS in Biology and a BA in Philosophy from University of Houston. One of my favorite classes in undergrad was Philosophy of Mathematics. In addition to being a tutor, I am currently an attorney in North Dakota.
I enjoy getting to be creative, but the best part is when the material finally clicks and the student has a uh huh breakthrough moment.
