Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Not only do I enjoy teaching, but I am also very good at it. I feel the reason why this is the case is because I too struggled with math classes when i was young, and didn't exactly understand everything the teacher said in front of the class. So i know what my clients are going through and i help them understand the material the same way that i was able to get it--very slowly and explaining ideas away from mathematical language that is used on textbooks. Textbooks are written by people with Ph.D's in mathematics. Most of us are not at that level. It is very difficult for a genius to explain his or her work. I am definitely not a genius, but i understand mathematics and am very good at explaining it.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I am still a student. I am currently attending UCLA to finish up some prerequisites for my Graduate School application. Since I am constantly tutoring, i make sure to keep up with new textbook editions and lesson plans. I constantly keep contact with high school teachers around my area who provide me with information about what their classes are currently covering so i am better able to help their students outside of the classroom.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    My most common types of jobs are Algebra, Calculus, and Spanish 1 or 2. This is because once kids get passed algebra with a solid understanding, every other math class will not seem as hard as Algebra. When they get to calculus though, it is a completely new world, and they may need a little push to understand the material not necessarily in such a mathematical way, but rather applied to the real world. Spanish 1 and 2 are difficult since they are usually just starting to learn a new language--which isn't easy at all. It just takes the right motivation and environment to get somebody to want to learn such an easy language as it is the case for Spanish.
