FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
With all of my students, I work to build my students' mastery and grasp of their course material, be it geometry, calculus, GRE math, or any other math course. I like to work with examples, actual problems. Exposure to more and more problems and to new situations and perspectives is essential. During our sessions, I'm all the time keeping blank paper on hand and generating additional practice problems to solve. As often as possible, I like to leave my students with a few problems for them to work on their own between our sessions. With all of this, I'm not just teaching math, but my role is also that of a coach. Almost all of my students have real math potential within themselves, and half of my job is building their confidence in their own abilities.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Recently, I reached a significant milestone of success with one of my younger students. Jake, and 8th grade Algebra student, had been struggling with math for over a year. As we began to work together, the quality of Jake's written work and the maturity of his approach to his math studies gradually improved. As he became more and more confident, and as his mastery of course content improved, Jake's quiz and test grades also improved. After several months of working together and experiencing gradual improvement, Jake achieved a remarkable success... placement on the High Honor Roll. He devoted a lot of hard work and dedication to earn this status, and I'm very proud of his success.
