About Fuhrman STEM Tutoring Service
With formal training as an engineer and a Masters in Math Education, I tutor all levels of math (basic arithmetic through college math), middle and high school science, and college level physics and engineering. I also help students to prepare for standardized testing, including the SATs and ACTs. And I work with adults who are looking to take the GRE, CBEST, CSET, and other standardized and professional tests. My goal as a teacher and tutor is to help my students develop and strengthen a growth mindset, master the material, build confidence in their subject mastery, and appreciate the value of the material as it applies outside of the classroom. I work with students to ensure that they not only understand the material, but that they also develop the skills for independent learning and discovery. Additionally, we focus on building the skills necessary to succeed when applying their knowledge to exams. When working with elementary and middle school students, I provide immediate positive feedback, and encourage my students to see assignments as puzzles rather than drudgery. In addition, I have picked up a number of tricks which make solving math problems faster and more interesting, and share those as opportunities arise. With high school students, I help them to identify the gaps in their knowledge or skills and then work with them to fill those gaps. In doing so, they gain confidence and are able to improve their performance on assignments and assessments.
