Over the past three years, I've tutored a broad spectrum of math subjects, from elementary math to the complexities of Calculus 3, with a focused expertise in SAT Math. My primary goal is to help students secure the Bright Futures Scholarship, an award I personally received and one that can cover 75-100% of college tuition in Florida. This significant financial benefit motivates me to help as many students as possible achieve their educational goals with reduced financial stress.
My approach is deeply rooted in learning science and cognitive psychology, utilizing strategies such as testing, spacing, generation, and interleaving effects to enhance learning and retention. I emphasize intuitive understanding over rote memorization, guiding students to discover connections between math concepts and see their broader implications.
I design my tutoring sessions to produce quick initial gains, crucial for dismantling the "I'm bad at math" mentality and building confidence early on. These early successes pave the way for students to achieve higher scores on the SAT, increasing their chances of earning the Bright Futures Scholarship. Through this targeted and thoughtful approach, I aim to not only improve students' test scores but also empower them with the skills needed for academic and financial success in college.
