Private tutor in Campbell, CA

Education

UC Santa Cruz Mathematics BA with emphasis on education

Experience

Learning Mathematics requires proper communication and humility so I like to engage the student in friendly dialogue about the material, allowing mathematical reasoning to flow from within without the pressures of "right" and "wrong" ways of solving problems. Only once the student understands an idea should he or she be instructed on methods for implementing it. I love teaching math to others and I've had much success tutoring in both one-on-one and group settings. Math Education Resume: Ten months of employment as a tutor/intern by the University of California CalTeach program, working at various high schools in Santa Cruz Relevant courses (all at UCSC): Calculus, multivariable calculus, geometry, mathematical proofs, number theory, statistics, math history, Java programming, mathematics pedagogy
