description of Teacher:
I have helped many students, from middle school to college, in mathematics and other science courses, and I have been fortunate enough to assist mainstream students as well as students who have mental challenges such as ADD or Schitzophrenia. I like to present concepts both formally and in a familiar fashion so that students can take ownership of them and also learn how to do the same on their own.
