...I have been working as a tutor since I was thirteen for mathematics and I love every minute of it. I like tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject.

I also have experience teaching students of all ages (5-18) overseas in the beautiful country of Taiwan, where I lived for nearly two years.

...different work positions. I am incredibly patient, understanding, and compassionate. The one thing that I will ask from my students, whether they are adults, parents of young children, or middle or high school students, is to bring the topic they are struggling with and the areas they want me to focus on the most.

Even so, there's always something new at hand: notes can be combined into chords played in different orders, and the numbers of a math problem might be altered. Listening to music and taking tests both reward perseverance: one might notice nuances and subtleties in one's favorite song and hearing it repeatedly, and a person's objective score on a test will inevitably increase through constant exposure. Most importantly, a...

Recently, I volunteered at...
