I currently do tutoring and statistical consulting full time. I worked at a Fortune 500 tech company for almost 2 years (doing math and statistics) but really ... Read more

Almost every concept in high school math is easy to understand when explained properly. When a student understands why a mathematical rule exists, they will almost never break that rule again. I seek to promo... Read more
