Teaching Philosophy
I believe that students learn math most efficiently through hands-on practice in a setting where they are supported and empowered to succeed. As a tutor, I help my students use their developing math skills to understand, visualize, strategize, and solve each problem. I let my students hold the pencil while we’re working together and I support them in developing the skills they need to confidently reach the answers themselves.

In a typical tutoring session, we’ll chat about how you’re feeling about your math course as a whole as well as about individual topics and assignments. We’ll briefly review challenging concepts and then spend time working through practice problems together. Finally, we’ll come up with a study plan for you to follow in between sessions.
