"My name is Russell and I am 37 years of age. I am born and raised in Mesa, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. I attended Mesa Community College as well as Arizona State University. I have taught for Mesa Public Schools for 8 years mostly in the subject of mathematics. I also have taught American History, English, and Geography.

As a teacher and tutor, I base my teaching around fun and easy going method with a no question is a stupid question mentality. I encourage my students to be comfortable in asking any question. The reason I enforce this philosophy with extreme passion is I do not want any student of mine to fall behind because they didn't ask a question that would further their understanding of the subject.

In my experience, I have taught and tutored from kindergarten to freshman and sophomore year college students. I range from a classroom setting to one on one tutoring. The reason why I got into this profession because I love to see children and adults alike to succeed. It brings me joy to know that I was able to help a student grasp a understanding of something they struggled in." less...
