Math with Nathan K.

Hello there! My name is Nathan and I have 5+ years of teaching experience. I completed a rigorous Master's Degree in Statistics at George Mason University near Washington D.C. My strong background in mathematics and statistics as well as my tutoring experience qualifies me to tutor statistics from high schoolers all the way to advanced college classes. Aside from my academic qualifications, I believe that it is my genuine passion for math and science that makes me an effective tutor for students of all learning styles. As a tutor, my goal is not to impress students with how much I know. Rather, my goal is to show my students how easily math and science concepts can come to them when they are presented the material in a straightforward way. The late physicist, Richard Feynman, posited that the ability to explain complicated ideas in a simple manner is the true mark of understanding. I agree with this assertion, and I make it my goal each tutoring session to explain even the most complex phenomena in a simple way, so that my student will come away from the lesson with confidence that they grasped the information. Additionally, I emphasize a strong understanding of the fundamentals, because both math and science are heavily inductive disciplines; many of the theorems and laws are founded on other, more fundamental principles. I have personally experienced the discouragement of trying to learn material that is beyond my level of preparedness, and so I can empathize with students who are in that boat. I am currently traveling so I can only host classes online. My teaching platform is an online "whiteboard" where my students can follow along with as I explain concepts and solve problems. I hope this brief explanation of my qualifications and teaching style has provided a clear image of what you can expect from me as your tutor. I am eager to hear from you and help you succeed in your academic goals!
