As a Duke University undergraduate, I've been immersed in a rigorous academic environment that's both challenged and deepened my love for learning, especially in subjects like math and English. I've always believed that education is more than just grades; it's about truly understanding and enjoying the learning process. This philosophy guides my approach as a tutor.
My journey into tutoring began with a personal achievement: scoring in the top 99th percentile on the ACT. This milestone wasn't just a testament to my academic skills but also a turning point where I realized my potential to help others. I started tutoring at Mathnasium, a wonderful platform where I worked with students from elementary to high school. Here, I learned the art of breaking down complex mathematical concepts into digestible, enjoyable lessons. My students ranged from those struggling with basic arithmetic to those grappling with the intricacies of Calculus 1.
What sets my tutoring apart is my emphasis on understanding 'why' behind the 'what'. I don't just teach students how to solve a problem; I guide them to understand the underlying principles. This approach not only aids immediate problem-solving but also equips students with the analytical skills to tackle new challenges independently.
