About Me

I am an experienced tutor with 7+ years of tutoring mathematics and statistics. I have taught students of all ages, from elementary school to college level, but my expertise is in the range of algebra to calculus and statistics students.

‍Tutoring Style

I ensure that my students truly learn the material that they come to me for help with. I do this by focusing on real life examples to help with visualization and through explanations of the underlying methods and ideas that go into each topic. Learning is more than just the ability to regurgitate information, it comes with a true grasp on the topic at hand.

‍Success Story

A good example of a success story in my tutoring career comes from a calculus student that I tutored back when I was an undergraduate student at Purdue University Northwest. I met with this student once every week over the course of her semester and I got to watch as she grew to understand the material more. She came to me with low exam scores and general unfamiliarity with the material, but her scores began to rise as she got some much needed help. She would go on to pass the class.

‍Hobbies & Interests

I tend to spend my free time on reading, video games, and studying. Fantasy and Science Fiction tend to be the genres of entertainment that i gravitate toward, and when studying I am always looking for new ways to strengthen my understanding of mathematics.
