I am tutoring on a very limited basis for 2011-2012. With the exception of previous customers, very few new students will be accepted. Your best chances are if you contact me at the beginning of the quarter.
See the course proposal for the "Computer Theorem Proving" colloquium I'm co-teaching in CCS for Spring 2012. Currently, we are hoping it will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays, 3:00 - 4:00PM.
I gladly tutor the following:
For new customers, the prices are:
For my purposes, finals week at UCSB for Winter 2011 is the nine-day period starting on March 11th and ending March 19th. In general, it start on the last day of instruction through the last day of finals according to the approved academic calendar (see UCSB Calendars and Deadlines).
I am currently a math and computer science double major with senior standing in the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I also study stage lighting design in the Theater and Dance department. Through my coursework at UCSB, I have completed the equivalent of a typical mathematics undergraduate curriculum with exemplary grades. I continue to take graduate courses in mathematics to extend my knowledge.
I have tutored students at my high school since September 2005. I was also the founder and president of the Bothell High School math club from 10th grade until I graduated, and for my sophomore year at UCSB I was president of the math club. I have had many opportunities to tutor classmates and give lectures. I also have experience working with special needs students. The combination of my teaching experience and my extensive knowledge of mathematics makes me an excellent tutor.
Learning is hard work for the student and for the teacher. It is the pupil's responsibility to learn and the teacher's responsibility to facilitate learning. Just as "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink", an educator cannot force a student to understand. Therefore I ask students to come to me willing to learn and ready to deliver. This usually means attending every class; doing homework; seeking outside of class resources such as office hours and CLAS; maintaining good health; and meeting with me as needed. For me, "working hard" means helping with coursework; identifying and mitigating stumbling blocks to learning; improving my pedagogical approach; providing additional resources; maintaining my own mastery of advanced coursework; being prompt; and helping my students succeed at any cost.
