I am a university lecturer with eight years of experience teaching business math and statistics. I have two bachelor's degrees, a master's, and one year or coursework towards a PhD. I tutor grades 8 - College.
One of my main goals in teaching is to break down complex topics with simple, unpretentious explanations. I use real-world examples, memorable phrases, and humor to get students to take interest and understand the material. I am a lifelong learner and try to impart my natural curiosity in my students.
I once had a non-traditional student from a foreign country in my business math class. She made a 25 on her first exam, covering algebra, and she was ready to drop the class and give up. She came by my office to get help, and I encouraged her to stick with it. By the end of the class, I helped her get a 90 on the last exam, covering calculus.
