Hi my name is Courtney Campbell. I am a highly motivated, adaptable, and tech savvy individual with experience teaching high school and university mathematics online and offline.
My favourite part about teaching is helping people achieve their academic and career goals. One of the students I helped with calculus is now a veterinarian and many students I tutored in statistics are now nurses. I have proven success in helping individuals develop study methods that work for them. For example, while tutoring calculus I could tell the symbols that describe the derivative rules confused the student, so I suggested we verbalize them. We wrote the meaning above the symbols to help the student read and understand the mathematical language. The student found this very helpful because they were an auditory learner and had to hear the operation.
Understanding math and successfully solving problems can be fun and empowering. Many people I've taught have developed a better relationship with the subject. They have gained confidence and gone on to do amazing things. I'd like to continue helping people in this way, but not just those who can afford tutoring, that's why I chose to become a teacher.
