About Trent

Like many other tutors and teachers, I have taken many math and science courses. However, some of these I have taken very recently. Because of this I can remember the struggles I had in them and where the other students that took it with me had troubles. This allows me to better understand where a student is getting caught up and how best to go about fixing the issue.

My favorite part about teaching and tutoring is seeing a student figure out a problem that they have been struggling with. I know how satisfying it is to figure out a problem you have been struggling with for a long time and I enjoy watching others experience this. Along with this I enjoy watching a student’s progress as they progress through a course. It is always good to see students finding the material they once thought impossible to learn very easy once they have worked with it for a while and gotten more comfortable with it.

I am a senior in Electrical Engineering at Iowa State University. Throughout my degree I have taken many math and science courses and done very well in them. This allows me to help those who are struggling in their own math and science courses.

Initially I want to get an idea of where the student is at. This means figuring out where the issues are with the student’s class. Is the problem not understanding the material, study habits, note taking habits, or do they just need to work through some problems to solidify what they have learned? By figuring out where the issues are, I can do a much better job at helping the student be successful and help them through their troubles in a class. 



Look for someone who will help you to understand the problems that you are facing not just give you the answers. At the end of the day it is much more important that you know why you do something in a course than getting a good grade on a single homework assignment. Plus, you will be more prepared for future tests and assignments if you can apply the knowledge you gain to a large set of problems instead of knowing how to solve one specific case. 



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
A student should try to formulate where exactly they are having troubles. Simply saying you do not get it does not help you nor the teacher. Instead try to explain what you have tried and your reasoning behind it. In many cases I have seen that students have the correct thought process they are just missing one small detail which is causing them to get stuck. Even if your process is completely wrong it is much easier to start from there compared to the nothing you get from saying you do not get it.
