"It took me over three years to intuitively understand calculus. I struggled with the class in high school, again in undergrad, before finally passing with a 100%. For the longest time I struggled with a lot of mathematics, but I say this with pride because now as an M.S. Economics student in NYC I am learning and working with mathematics that I would have read as gibberish a few years ago. I got here because of my persistence, a little bit of stubbornness, and the patience needed to get up after falling over and over again. Eventually I began tutoring algebra and trigonometry as a volunteer for a little over a year, which really gave me confidence in my mathematics.
To truly understand something is to be able to teach it to anyone else. I bring a unique teaching style that I have found to be incredibly successful with students I have tutored in HS and college. Many students struggle to connect with tutors and teachers because the instructor hasn't banged their heads at the wall over whatever mental block their student is going through. Odds are, I have probably pulled my hair out over whatever problem you're staring at right now. I am incredibly patient and always striving to help my students to not just understand mathematics, but to find joy in the art. If you're looking for a tutor who has spent years feeling stuck on something everyone else seems to get, I would love for you to reach out so we can push through your struggles together. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." less...
