...I have seen the best results when a student already has taken practice tests and can show me where they have success and struggle, so I would request that you hold on to a completed practice test or two. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!Over 200 hours... (read more)
...In addition to assisting students with algebraic components of pre-calc, I can assist with trigonometry, analytic geometry, and function/graphing topics. I enjoy assisting students with this important bridge to Calculus and other college-level classes. I am a long-time teacher of the proof and logic course at our university. (read more)
...I would actually say most of the plug and chug is easier than most calculus plug and chug IF one understands what is going on in the first place. But linear algebra is abstract, so that’s a big if. My strength in teaching linear algebra is that I am good at making it seem fairly concrete and simple, not abstract, so that the theorems aren’t so bad after all, or even common sense. (read more)
...My main approach to trigonometry is to build up a foundation of important facts like the unit circle and then hone in on strategies in problem solving. Practice will be key in developing these skills, so I try to prepare my students to use their homework time effectively. I have a great deal of... (read more)
...If they need worksheets to drill certain problems, I’ll bring worksheets. If they need a lesson planned, I’ll plan the lesson. Avoid sending over problems in advance. (read more)
