Mahilet
Math, science, and Chemical Engineering Tutor - academic coach
I love explaining concepts and developing my students’ problem-solving skills rather than only teaching methods that apply to one kind of problem. Improving my students’ comprehension about a subject they struggle with is my goal. I have found success by encouraging my students to relate what they learn in class to their everyday life.

Come down with a bad case of Math?
Most people don't like math. This makes doing it almost impossible.

I start by finding the main culprit to this distress, and start solving problems for the student. Not math problems, but base problems in their understanding. After some skill building and drilling on the right areas we ... Read more
