I have spent years practicing and studying mathematics. I have a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics and years of experience with combinatorics and analysis in particular. I know basic calculus,... algebra, geometry and combinatorics as a high schooler knows basic addition. I apply these every day, and my understanding of it is thorough and varied. I have also tutored multiple students in algebra, combinatorics and calculus for years.read more

I live in Amherst Massachusetts and I love math. It's my biggest hobby, and my greatest passion by far. I find difficulty in describing exactly how much I love math, but I work on problems and study d... aily, despite my having graduated. Beyond math, I enjoy basically anything horror. I'm particularly partial to short stories, but I also indulge in books and movies. In terms of tutoring, my philosophy is that everybody has their own way of thinking and doing. With enough effort, nearly anybody can understand any part of math, and there's some way for them to understand much of it fairly easily. My goal in tutoring is to try to find that path of least resistance, and make any effort put in to be as productive as possible. Using my extensive experience in basic mathematics, I am familiar with multiple approaches to basic and early mathematics, as well as their rigorous foundations, to insure that every student can learn in a variety of ways, as well as to whatever depth they desire.read more
