Math with Emily A.

My first experience with teaching was as part of a research group with the goal of teaching basic computer programming skills to chemistry students. I wrote a step-by-step worksheet to guide students with no prior programming experience to learn the elementary concepts (syntax, use of loops, etc.) so that they could apply them to solve problems relating to their own area of expertise. As part of this project, I came to realize the importance of breaking down a concept into simple steps which can be easily explained. This is the same approach I take with tutoring: break down the problem into a series of simple steps with a clear purpose. I believe that approaching a problem this way can often help get past the "sticking point" and clear up confusion. I'm looking forward to helping you with your own questions about Algebra, Chemistry, Geometry or Math!
