I took Algebra in 5th grade and progressed from there: Geometry, Algebra II, Probability and Statistics in middle school, and finally Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus I, and AP Calculus II (with the option t... o take Calculus III) in high school. I have received all As or A+s and passed the AP exam for AP Calculus I. I did not take the AP Calculus II exam as it was not required for my university. In my first year at the University of Iowa, I took Statistics for Business. I was not naturally good at this kind of math (I went to tutoring, office hours, and supplemental instruction) -- to ease anyone's tension of thinking math is hard because it is even for those who have had success in the past. I ended up not only passing but finishing with an A. I was recommended by a tutor I went to become one. I now have been participating in drop-in tutoring for Statistics for Business students for the past 1 1/2 years helping students as I was once helped. I have a passion for helping alleviate frustration and helping students build their confidence. I am currently a Finance and Marketing student in which I use algebra in everyday assignments.read more

Hello, my name is Anand Patel but you can call me "AP"! I enjoy cooking, traveling, listening to music, and learning about personal finance. I am a Finance and Marketing student at the Tippie College... of Business at the University of Iowa. Currently, I am a Statistics for Business Tutor and love helping students realize their potential as well alleviate the frustration math can bring! In math, I really feel like the only barrier to understanding is inadequate practice. I am curious, love to ask questions (as well as answer them). I know how it can be feeling like you are incapable of understanding something but I am looking forward to meeting you and changing that fixed mindset to a growth mindset. Cheers!read more
