Experience
I was always good with math, but I did not have a passion for it until I declared it as a major in college. Not only did I enjoyed doing math, but I also enjoyed explaining mathematical concepts to students and helping them break down these concepts in a way they could understand. So, I decided to become a math/science tutor. After graduating with undergraduate and graduate degrees in mathematics, I decided to teach part time at a local community college. This was a very rewarding experience and gave me a great opportunity to make mathematics fun and accessible inside the classroom. I also had an opportunity to write a chapter unit on infinite series for a calculus textbook. Overall, I enjoy learning math and exploring new ideas in the field. But I also enjoy sharing this knowledge to students who either struggle or enjoy math. My goal is to help you succeed in mathematics by practicing many problems and understanding the problem solving process. And my hope is that you will gain an appreciation for this beautiful subject when it is all said and done.
