About
My friends and I share a home in the Spokane area in Washington. We've got a wonderful dog and three mostly wonderful cats. When I'm not tutoring I'm studying for my Bachelor of Science in Software De... velopment or working as a telemarketer (gotta keep those soft skills sharp!).
I love spreadsheets! They proved useful to me while I was relying on them to automate preparing tabletop RPGs and they've proven invaluable for every employer I've had since. Algebra is so ingrained in everything that we do that I'm hard-pressed to find a time I ever lived without it.
Learning new things is very important and if I can share what I know with you then all the better. There's an amazing vicarious excitement when things start to click for someone else because it means we're both succeeding.
Tutoring is fantastic because I get to be an intermediary between an entire human being and a specific subject matter. It pushes me to pay attention and really get to know how the person thinks, what they already understand, and what models we can attach to in order to help them reach the goal of understanding the material.read more
