      My work with students has built their confidence in math and science subjects, helping to set them up for success in future courses during their academic careers and beyond. I met with seven high school students weekly to focus on study skills and concepts within math and science. My approach to learning focuses on building a strong foundation as a baseline to be able to grow and solve more advanced problems. When scheduling sessions I made my self available for students to find convenient times for them that fit into their study schedules. Show less
