"Welcome! I'm Shane, and I graduated from Swarthmore College as a double major in mathematics and film studies. I also received a Master's in education from Stanford University. I have experience tutoring all levels of math up to AP Calculus BC as well as the SAT and ACT through The Princeton Review. I also taught Algebra I at a Bay Area high school. But enough about my credentials, why should your child learn math from me?
Well, in the first place, they're not going to be learning from me, not in the boring traditional sense. I believe that the only authentic way to learn math is when you make the discoveries and solutions yourself, rather than memorizing the facts and procedures they teach you at school which completely miss the essence of math. My curriculum is personable, personalized, and handcrafted with your invaluable input and exceptional child in mind. I aim to help your child with any math test or class with an emphasis on the fundamentals, always cherishing their natural curiosity and instincts for problem solving.
Lastly, with my services, you can expect full communication and trust. I personally invite you to sit in on your child's classes with me or even participate in them yourself (only if you wish). I teach math to engage students with irresistible puzzles and questions of inquiry while, again, leaving as much of the process to the student as possible. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you learn a thing or two yourself!" less...
