Math has always been my favorite subject and being ahead in my grade for most of my life led me to help my peers whenever I could. I realized I could reach a lot more people as a tutor. For almost three years I tutored college students of all ages and learning types in math courses from Elementary Math to Calculus. The techniques used to help students were engaging; breaking down problems to understand the components, using handouts for references, and practicing problems as needed was the core of our success.
