Currently, I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Aeronautics and I'm working on my Masters of Science in Mathematics. I have always had an interest in math, specifically algebra and pre-algebra and have completed mathematics courses up to calculus 2. I have no specific prior teaching experience but I do have some tutoring experience. I find the best method or approach when trying to teach somebody a new topic or to assess their knowledge on a topic is to present them with foundational practice problems or practice sets to gauge where their knowledge is. The next step in the process is to guide them in the best approach to solve the problem without limiting their creativity or basic understanding. Then give them practice problems to ensure that they understand the methodology and can accurately demonstrate the problem solving skills necessary. Finally, I give them challenging problems that help expand or lead into alternate methods to solve problems, as to increase and broaden those problem solving skills. I have tutored children, teenagers, and adults from ages 8 to upper-level college and courses from pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus. I look to take this opportunity of tutoring as a stepping stone to full-time teaching at the high school or higher education level.
