Practical Math tutor with patient, interactive problem-solving strategies

Hello, I’m Porter, a dedicated tutor with 8 years of teaching experience. I hold a masters degree in Mathematics and specialize in a variety of subjects, including science and English. In my free time, I love exploring new hobbies like reading, photography, and hiking. I began tutoring out of a passion for helping students understand complex concepts and reach their academic goals while boosting their confidence. Teaching has been a rewarding journey for me, enabling me to make a positive impact in my students lives.

I begin by conducting an initial assessment to identify each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. This assessment helps me to craft a personalized learning plan that aligns with their specific needs. The plan is designed to address gaps in understanding, reinforce foundational skills, and challenge students appropriately. My teaching approach emphasizes building a deep understanding of mathematical concepts rather than rote memorization. I use a variety of instructional techniques, including visual aids, manipulatives, and interactive exercises, to help students grasp abstract ideas and apply them in different contexts.
