As I continued working with them, they kept telling me things such as "You should really consider being a teacher," "You are really good at explaining things," "Your explanation is so clear," or "I would have aced my c...

Life is like a kaleidoscope. Depending on your point of view, it will either uplift or hinder you. I teach and advise, because I understand how other's struggle with sharing their story through speaking, writing, or personal presentation. This inherent struggle is a hindrance to one's academic and professional success. With a Bachelor's of Science degree in business with an emphasis in International Economics, I worked for Fortune 500 financial institutions. I managed multi-million-doll... Read more

Wesley
Premium Math Tutor with Applied Experience

- Santa Clara , California ( 95050 )

I have been tutoring all levels of math for over 7 years now. I really enjoy math as a subject, and try to impart the fundamental concepts of math rather than trying to just teach the algorithms. Math really should be about understanding the logic behind it and less about route processes (we have computers for that). A bit about me. I currently do tutoring and statistical consulting full time. I worked at a Fortune 500 tech company for almost 2 years (doing math and statistics) but really e... Read more
