...where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I...

This same approach has helped me excel as a tutor because breaking down problems for students and guiding them as they grapple with the concepts involved helps identify sticking points and facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the material at hand.

From her, I learned that a meaningful education requires more than just knowing facts and how...

I have worked with math learners from elementary to high school in all areas of mathematics. My goal in life is to get previously frustrated or unhappy students to understand math and stop being so nervous about it. When I'm not striving towards that lofty goal, I'm trying to relax by doing yoga, reading novels, and eating lots of cupcakes.
