Jim W.
Private tutor in Austin, TX
Education
BS in Secondary Education from University of Oklahoma
Experience
5 years experience tutoring math. 8 years experience teaching in the classroom. I am certified to teach math in Texas grades 8 - 12. I enjoy tutoring because I like to see light bulbs go on. Learning math is a process of gaining conceptual understanding that can be demonstrated through being able to independently solve math problems. On any given skill, I try to determine where the student is in the process and bring him/her through this process. I see the process moving from explanation and demonstration through guided practice to independent problem solving, continually checking for understanding along the way.
