Experience
Sometimes the stressful and rigorous environment many students experience at school can cause them to become discouraged in certain subjects, so as a tutor I provide them with a relaxed, patient atmosphere where they don't have to worry about the subject or doubt their own abilities. I am currently in my fourth year of study of an undergraduate program in Computer Engineering at the University of Florida. The skills that this course of study encompasses are many, including many math concepts such as algebra and calculus. My specialty is definitely calculus, and I have tutored this subject extensively at the University of Florida, where I designed my own teaching tools by selecting examples of past homework and exams of my own and explaining them to my students. I find that a more patient and relaxed learning atmosphere is actually much more productive for students, as they are able to produce results without the pressure of a classroom setting. In this way, it is possible to make areas of difficulty cease to be a source of stress, and many times students will leave my sessions with a more positive outlook on these difficult subjects. In my spare time, I enjoy canoeing and swimming.
