Hi, I'm Dylan and hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Business Administration.
For 1.5 years, I worked as a Supplemental College Instructor, where I led sessions in Calculus II and Business Economics parallel to professor lectures. This role involved lesson planning based on the professor lectures and tailoring my plan based on where students struggled, while also adjusting based on the progression of my session. I would adjust to different learning styles and would prep 2-3 hour study sessions prior to exams to ensure understanding of the subject matter. I created my own problem sets and asked students to solve problems so I could work with them on sharpening their skills. I was an AVID tutor during my senior year of high school and worked with groups of freshman and sophomore students struggling with math, English, and sciences. I would help students solve problems on the whiteboard and help them pivot towards the correct approach while also allowing them to naturally find the answer by being inquisitive on what they are doing. This role required me to adapt to students in ways that complemented their learning styles.
My approach begins with listening and asking the student to work out a problem to the best of their ability. After watching their efforts, I meet students where they are, identify the root of their confusion and build an approach tailored to solving the confusion and adjust based on the student's learning style. My favorite part of tutoring is the 'click' moment, when something finally makes sense after sustained effort in trying to understand. That moment is what I'm working toward in every single session. I create an environment where students feel heard, never judged, and never rushed because I know firsthand how much it matters to have someone genuinely in your corner willing to work through the struggle with you.
I look forward to working with your student at their level because I believe every student is more capable than they imagine.
