"Hi, everyone! I'm a graduate of McGill University, Honours B.A. in Economics. While my main focus may be on economics, I chose the discipline because I felt it was a way to put my passion and talent for mathematics to good use. It allowed for intellectual challenge, while also offering opportunity to continue far in mathematics as elective courses. The contexts I was exposed to mathematics in led me to developing a multi-dimensional style of both learning and teaching the discipline, and often I've found that I'm able to help others or receive help by getting a new perspective on whatever problem I'm faced with. I found personally that the way to succeed in math is not by memorizing formulas, but to begin with a solid foundation in pattern observation. A formula is only as useful as the situations you're able to apply it in, and you will get much further when you're able to spot variations of patterns instead of only recognizing textbook example patterns. Contrary to what many believe, there are many different ways to solve every kind of math problem, and I enjoy helping students discover their perspective on mathematics as well as offering mine.

Over my years, I've taken six semesters of calculus, four semesters of advanced econometrics and statistical methods, and six semesters of calculus-based advanced microeconomic theory. Additionally, I maintained a 3.8 average in all of my core courses in Economics and Mathematics. Though there were no professional opportunities for tutoring, I often tutored classmates and fraternity brothers who were in courses I'd taken. I used tutoring as an opportunity to help those around me, as well as to reaffirm my own knowledge of the subject. Tutoring works out to be a valuable learning opportunity for both of us! I work the best overnight, so I'm available late nights (10pm-4am) for those who are night owls or just need some last minute prep, but I can also make time for morning lessons if you need! Send me a message and we can see if I'm able to help you succeed." less...
