Fun Facts

About Me

I graduated from San Jose State University last summer 2013 with BS in Finance. My short term plan is working on a single subject teacher credential - mathematics at SJSU. Right now, I'm studying CBET and CSET tests.

In the past, I tutored two eight-grade children. The little girl, I assisted her with her homework, and strengthen some of math skills, which she lacked.

Recently, I tutored my classmates in Quantitative Business Analysis.

A lot of students think math is boring because it's just numbers. Therefore, I try to make math simple and fun, and how theories and concepts are used in everyday activities. For small children, teaching how math is used around the house develops familiarly, and breaks the fear cycle of math is "hard." For example, a parent asking their child to get four bowls or sharing half their milk reinforces basic number recognition and relationships. Nevertheless, using the approach of "simple and fun" can be used for any subject in understanding basic concepts. Once the student has a strong foundation, learning becomes easier.

Another complementary skill rarely taught in school is study skills like note taking and time management. Most of the time, students become frustrated once they get home and begin on their assignments. Struggling, students do not know of available resources, which they could have made. Instead, the struggle reinforces the idea the topic is difficult, and erodes their co
