Academic Tutoring Lessons in Northampton, MA. It's your time.

As a software engineer, I pride myself on being a problem solver. My goal will be to empower my students to be critical thinkers which will help simplify the learning process. I will be able to bridge the gap between struggle and success by patiently motivating students to overcome their educational challenges. I enjoy seeing my students succeed and will definitely make math and science fun and easy!

I have a PhD in English and can be a coach to prepare for the GRE reading and vocabulary sections

I have 5 years experience with teaching math since 2016
I taught from basic level up to algebra 2

Since 2010 I have been tutoring college students mostly on Principles of Finance, both the Bachelor and Master's degree levels. I usually help them do the homeworks, quizzes and prepare for exams. But perhaps the main thing I do for them is to help them understand finance and what is being taught by the professor. I use my expertise (see my licenses in my profile) and experience to help them see how finance works in real life and how it relates to the not-so-realistic academic environment. One thing is to read and imagine and another is to have done it and lived it; that's what I provide. I also, occasionally, help students with extra credit or special written assignments, such as retirement extra credits, CapStone quizzes and CAPSIM simulations, which are not only finance-related but require business experience.

Interested in improving in math? Want to ace your future classes? I will assist in building up the fundamental of math skills. During my senior year at high school, I used to tutor students ranging from elementary school to high school mathematics at a Mathnasium facility. I have also worked with students that range from visual learners to hands-on students to those who need repetitive practice of the same concept or even more time with the material. This experience allowed me to understand different students and approach their unique ways of learning. I believe it is more rewarding for the student if I spend more time than given in a class period to address one topic if there are potential concerns or misunderstanding of certain topics.
