About
Hi! I'm Chana, I'm originally from Minnesota and am currently a resident of New York. I have tutored for 5 years now and think the thing I like most about it is the challenge of explaining a subject i... n a way each of my students will understand and encouraging their input in the process. I primarily tutor math for middle school and high school students, but also have experience teaching coding and tutoring Physics and English.
I believe in a challenge-based teaching style, in which I present problems to my students soon after providing an introduction and then encourage them to discuss their ideas with me, in order to discover their learning tendencies and problem-solving strategies, and to most effectively guide them for their personal improvement.
In my free time, I enjoy playing board games, ping-pong, reading and coding.read more

Lessons were held remotely using the website "Lessonspace" or less frequently Zoom., and were tailored according to student needs, with some serving to reinforce what they were taught in school while others were to help students who wished to get ahead and understand a topic in greater depth.read more
