"Hello! I am very excited to work with you or your kid to achieve a better understanding of math! I have a BS in Mathematics from Tulane University, 400+ hours of tutoring on Wyzant with no less than 5 stars on any lesson ever, and I'm currently pursuing my Masters of Education at Vanderbilt University.
My style is to simply help the student really understand what's happening behind the numbers, so memorization becomes less of a crutch. I take what is already known, no matter how basic, and show that you have the capacity to understand so much from it. I find holes in knowledge, fill them in, and then guide to your own understanding of the material. It's easier than it sounds (promise), and I've seen it benefit so many! You'll see improvement in only a few sessions.
What makes me outstanding is my compassion for students who struggle. Like many others here, I have a Bachelor's in Mathematics from a top ranking university. However, what separates me is my second Bachelor's in Psychology and my experience working with kids in therapy. I know how it feels to struggle--like you just "can't." It's a roadblock in and of itself, but together we'll remove it.
What are you waiting for? Message if you want an extremely patient, focused, enthusiastic, and determined tutor to help you grow in math. You won't regret it!
