As an economics major, I am trained in high levels of mathematics, up to multivariable-calculus. As an anthropology major, I am equiped with the qualitative observation skills needed as a tutor. Teaching others is one of the things I enjoy doing. I love seeing that "ah-ha!" moment. I've worked with ESL and Autistic students as well, so I am very patient. I focus on building mathematical confidence as well as skill. This in turns raises grades and establishes good work ethics. I want your child to be able to understand the math at hand as well as have groundwork for future harder mathematical content. Please message me for further details.
