"I am a University of Kentucky and Vanderbilt University graduate with over 3000 total hours of tutoring experience over the past 15 years and I would love to help you conquer your math and economics fears! I have tutored students from 6th grade through adult learners returning to college. I absolutely love the one on one aspect of tutoring. Having taught Intermediate Microeconomics on two occasions at Vanderbilt, I found it difficult to engage every student as much as I would like to. In a tutoring session, you are my focus at all times.

I believe that examples are the key to a good tutoring session. In a tutoring session, I will typically make up an example problem which relates to the work done in class and work through it with you. If you have seen the concept before, I try to always guide you through the problem with questioning rather than answering. In this way, you work through the problem yourself and develop the necessary learning tools to succeed in the class, rather than simply receiving the answers from me. I always make an effort to try to come up with examples that are interesting or that relate to the real world in some way. I have been a teaching assistant for Sports Economics courses at Vanderbilt for over 3 years, so if you enjoy sports, I can usually come up with some way to connect a concept to a sports example. I think memorable examples are a good way to give you something to think back to when you are taking an exam.

If you are looking for someone who can make math or economics more relatable with a personalized approach, please contact me to schedule a tutoring session. I look forward to meeting with you." less...
