À propos
My passion for teaching began in the middle of my high school career when I first started tutoring my peers in math. She was struggling in Pre-Calculus, and I decided to help her (obviously, not out of self-interest ). As I began my tutoring sessions, my passion for teaching began to grow since I really liked seeing my students understand and interpret difficult concepts and incorporate them as one of their own. After seeing this happen multiple times, their joy became mine, and I wanted to spread the joy of learning to other people as well. I know that learning can be difficult and hard at times, but with a friend or a mentor to guide you, it can lessen that load and make this journey more bearable and even rewarding at times.
To explain a little bit about myself, I graduated from Pensacola Christian Academy and went straight into Birmingham-Southern College, which is a small liberal arts college located in the town of Birmingham, Alabama. Because of my high score on my SAT and my status as an international student, I received a full-tuition scholarship that was exclusively meant for international students, and after spending one year as a freshman, I got into a position of a Resident Advisor and basically got myself into a full-ride scholarship with no fees to worry about. I tutored all math-related subjects (arithmetic, algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, and some higher mathematics courses), but I especially enjoy teaching SAT prep and high school / middle school mathematics since I had the most experience tutoring in these subjects.
I think my teaching philosophy is to connect with my student first, and then try to figure out what problems they are facing so that they can understand and overcome the obstacle that lies ahead. Since I know that all people think differently and in their own style, I will match my teaching style to yours, and I will do my best to work alongside you to figure out what is the best solution to solve your particular problem.
