WHAT MAKES HIM AN AWESOME TUTOR
I love Math since forever, as well as I love helping others. What better of a combination
than being a math tutor!? I love explaining and getting into the student’s mind, so that
they absorb the information in my mind in their own way. When they speak and ask a
question, that is feedback to me. I can understand what they see and how I should
rephrase my words so their perception of the topic can include what I am sharing with
them.
FUN FACTS
Life Goal: To ensure math is understood by all students I take on, no matter their learning styles, capabilities or multiple intelligences they use!
Words to Live By: “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” (J.K.Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
Favourite Mathematical Weapon: Brain and Calculator: I love mental math, but when in doubt I am never ashamed to pull out my calculator and get the numbers I need to solve my problem.

What's the best thing about you? The fact that I love helping people around me, when I am capable to do so, is what makes me great! I always try to assist anyone and provide solutions or connect people that want to help each other if I cannot assist. This, in itself, is my Achilles’ heel of course…
