Casandra W.

Private tutor in Póvoa de Lanhoso, Portugal

Education

I am a Secondary Mathematics Education major at Utah Valley University with a 3.7 GPA (junior). I have recieved CRLA training to be certified as a tutor.

Experience

I have been a tutor at UVU for five years and am CRLA certified. I absolutely LOVE to tutor and help people develop a love for math. Since the math lab is at UVU however, most of my experience is with college students. I have tutored high school as well. This past semester I spent 20 hours observing high school math classes. But I LOVE kids. I have volunteered in kindergarten and 5th grade classes. I would love experience tutoring this age group as well! I have done well in all of my math classes: college algebra, trigonometry, the calculus series, statistics (Math 2040 and below), linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, Geometry, Analysis, Abstract Algebra. In high school I received a 4 on the AP Calculus test, and a 4 on the AP statistics test. I have a fascination with education. I'm always looking for ways to improve how students learn. If the way I'm not explaining isn't working, I don't rest until I find a way to connect with each unique individual. I make sure students understand the principle in multiple situations before we move on. This helps them feel much more confident when it's test time, and helps them make connections (which will help them retain the knowledge instead of just memorizing it and forgetting about it the next day). I can help students personalize the content and come up with real life situations to make math more meaningful to them. I also want to help students realize math is play! I want to associate excitement with the challenge of a problem, so they feel happy when presented with something hard instead of getting discouraged.
