Ryan

Certified Tutor

I have three years of experience as an Instructional Assistant at a high school, and have learned how to easily break concepts down into simple and easy-to-understand steps. I have also taken several math and computer science courses, which has given me the tools needed to help others get past some of the roadblocks they may encounter while learning.

I enjoy reading and fixing iPhones in my spare time. I have recently also become interested in books about how our social brain works. I love helping my students get past tough spots, and helping them relieve the stress that comes with struggling through difficult concepts, because I have been there myself! I start by assessing a student's subject knowledge, and then smoothing out any misunderstood areas before moving forward. I especially like assessing the concepts and questions that tripped me up when I myself was a student, as those will likely be the concepts my students also struggle with. If a student then has trouble explaining a problem, I will then reiterate it from my point of view.
