"Hello,

I first started tutoring in undergraduate and I loved it so much that by my senior year the organization I was tutoring for had to specify "not Dale" when asking for people to fill in the remaining slots. I am a huge nerd and may well need some help communicating with you, but I'll take your advice so long as you take mine.

My goal is to help people. I know that seems obvious given the field, but I'm happy to do the work that is needed to help you understand. My satisfaction is in you understanding or appreciating something you didn't before. I'll do my best to make examples that apply to your interests should you share them with me.

I think the biggest thing to making tutoring successful is making it at least a bit enjoyable for both student and teacher. Most of us hate what we're forced to do after all. Finding a way to make the student engaged is the most critical aspect of tutoring/teaching and I'm willing to work with the student to find that, so long as the student is willing to work with me.

I've taken up to Calculus III in school so I am familiar with calculus in 3-D. My foundation in Calc III is not the strongest so I'm not offering help in anything beyond Calc I. I've tutored people in Algebra before and it was successful so long as they attended. I think the key to teaching math is not giving problems, but helping people to understand how to work problems. I think this approach is applicable beyond just math as well.

I have a Ph. D. in Chemistry. That sounds intimidating so let's ignore that. I have tutored Chemistry for four years: three in undergrad and one in grad school. I had regular attendees for my undergrad sessions for multiple years. They may not have always needed my help, but the regulars came in just in case because they trusted me to make any issues clear. That is one of my proudest achievements. Even more so than the Ph. D. I take pride in helping people.

Look, I remember College, and honestly the circumstances right now aren't too different. I don't wan" less...
