I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I did research in computability theory. During my 4 years in the PhD program I had the privilege of teaching undergraduates, freshmen through senior, as part of my duties. I lectured precalculus, ran discussion sections for all levels of calculus, and led small group tutoring sessions for precalc through multivariable calculus in UW-Madison's Math Learning Center.

I hold a Master's degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I did research in computability theory. During my 4 years in the PhD program I had the privilege of teaching undergraduates, freshmen through senior, as part of my duties. I lectured precalculus, ran discussion sections for all levels of calculus, and led small group tutoring sessions for precalc through multivariable calculus in UW-Madison's Math Learning Center. As a result, I've had experience tutoring students with a wide range of experience.
My approach is to foster an environment where math is viewed as a skill that one can improve in, rather than an intrinsic aptitude that one either has or lacks. I like to emphasize the importance of making mistakes as a valuable experience, and my goal is to lead people to understanding the ideas behind the math rather than skill in calculation.
