Answer your math-related question
25
Don't know how to numbers? Read a statistic in the paper that doesn't make sense? Need any kind of math tutoring? No matter what your question, I will answer it slowly and methodically, checking in with you to make sure you understand as we go along. There is no question too basic.
Specifically: pose me a (specific) mathematics-related question -- maybe something you read in the paper and didn't get, or a topic from grade school you want to go over -- and we'll have a 30 - 60 minute informal "tutoring session" during which I'll assess your understanding, spend some time elaborating/spieling, and then leading you through some exercises or practice scenarios to make sure you understand what we've covered.
Example questions/topics:
- Why the lottery is a regressive tax.
- Why is the weather so unpredictable?
- Am I really only six degrees away from Kevin Bacon?
