FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I struggled mightily through much of 8th grade algebra. But I had a fantastic teacher who stayed 3 hours after the end of the school-day to help students with questions. Without her frequent help, I would have been lost in math going forward. Instead, it eventually 'clicked' for me, leading to great success in my future math endeavors, to the point where I now do Calculus for fun!
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
This is my initial foray into tutoring, but I just finished coaching a 5th grade boys' basketball team. Not only was it spectacularly fun, but the parents told me at the end of the season that their sons had enjoyed the season tremendously and that it was "the most outstanding coaching experience we've ever had." As a first-year coach, that felt really good. I am hoping to be equally adept as a new tutor!
