Studying Math or Music can be challenging endeavors to undertake. Every individual comes to these subjects with their own unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. I believe that student-centered learning is essential for confidence and mastery of these subjects.

Studying Math or Music can be challenging endeavors to undertake. Every individual comes to these subjects with their own unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. I believe that student-centered learning is essential for confidence and mastery of these subjects.
I'm George. While completing my Associate Degrees in Math and Music at Northwest College, I gained experience as a lead tutor for the Peer Tutoring Center, and while completing my Bachelor of Arts in Music at the University of Montana, I've continued to develop as a tutor by working for the Math Learning Center on campus. During this time, I've worked with dozens of students, both by recurring appointment and on a drop-in basis. I've also worked privately with college and high school students outside of the college system.
I practice an Empathy-based and Socratic style of tutoring. Rather than simply memorizing formulas or procedures by rote, I strive to make the underlying tangible structure of concepts feel viscerally intuitive to students. Through the process of asking and refining questions, I believe we can bring the boundaries of our understanding into clearer focus in a way that enables us to fortify our existing schema and secure an anchor point for new concepts. By understanding and acknowledging our own strengths we provide ourselves with a foundation for further growth.
I hope that through our time together, you are able to gain that feeling of "Yes! Maybe I really can do this!"
I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
