Math with Dwight D.

My name is Dwight and I have been teaching for approximately 17 years. I have taught at varying levels which include the following: High Schools, Community Colleges, and Universities. Primarily I teach the following courses: Personal Finance and Investing, PreAlgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, SAT & ACT Math, and Calculus. My Credentials include the following: A master of Science in Pure and Applied Mathematics, a Bachelor of Science in Math and Biology, and a Diploma in Accounts and Economics. As a mathematics teacher, I embrace that the only way to learn mathematics is to do it and understand the rationale behind each step in each problem. By frequently associating oneself with multiple algorithms that surround a specific concept is the only way to perfect those skills needed to gain mastery. On the contrary, the process of reading examples and proofs in textbooks and from lecture notes is valuable but the real learning comes through one's own efforts at solving mathematical problems. This is attained quite frequently through class assignments and in-class discussions and exercises. I view my role as a facilitator for this process. That involves giving students the framework that will cultivate learning in a way that they can explore ideas on their own thus being their own masters of the learning process.
