WHAT MAKES HIM AN AWESOME TUTOR

I am committed to sharing my experience in engineering and how math has shaped me.  I think that emphasizing different learning styles and methods of problem-solving is crucial in my time with each student.  Everyone experiences some setback in their efforts to understand a subject and I believe in “failing forward”.  Understanding previous errors to continue with an even stronger comprehension of the subject matter is key to success in math and every other endeavour in life.  I want students to feel that they can accomplish anything they put their minds to so that they can realize their full potential. 

FUN FACTS

Life goal:  To design and plan innovative transportation networks (lots of math involved)
