I'm Daniel!

I have 4 years of tutoring experience in all math subjects up to calculus II and have enjoyed working with students of all ages! I believe contemporary academic institutions are structured to focus heavily on test grades, how well you follow their prescribed rules, and that you learn the way they want you to learn. However, I strongly believe that every student is unique and as such, their learning path should be tailored individually to them and their needs. I feel it is important to not just memorize formulas but to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and inner workings of the concepts. This helps build an intuitive understanding of how to work different skills, which is key to fostering competence and mastery.

Ultimately education should be for self-enrichment from the value of knowledge itself, not just a measure of how well you follow the rules of the institution or what test grades you get. I value patience and compassion. I believe there are no "stupid questions" and that everyone has to start somewhere. Learning is a process that starts with building a strong foundation that can properly support new and more complex concepts. I look forward to working with you!
