Fun Facts
One thing that I really do love is karaoke! I love to sing many songs at open mic nights. I love singing Celine Dion the most. Although I'm not that good at it, it's something I enjoy doing. Whenever I have down time, I like playing video games. One thing I hope to more of is travel.
About Me
My name is Jeffery, and I love Math. Not only because of the countless laughs I've got from the one liner Math jokes at amateur comedy night, also because I have a passion of doing it, learning it, and teaching it. I have worked as a tutor and have over a decade of experience. Throughout my time as a tutor, I have had chances to work with a wide range of students, meeting a variety of goals. Some of my students are gifted as well as special needs.
Experience
In high school, I had the opportunity to tutor students bi-weekly in Geometry and Algebra starting my junior year in high school. Upon entering college at North Park, I tutored college students in their respective Math classes. Since then, I tutor students at a center and I work as a teaching assistant at Chicago Public Schools.
Approach
When I was growing up, there was a good portion of the teachers I had who were impatient, unsympathetic, and flat out, did not care. When I became a tutor, I made sure to not follow in my former teachers footsteps, so I had a new approach to working with my students. Every student I work with, I always do my best to be encouraging, friendly, patient, and understanding.
