Q&A with Larry Williams, The MATH Tutor

What makes your business stand out?
I have continued to take math courses at Amarillo College so I can be a more effective tutor and offer a wide range of math tutoring.

What inspired you to start tutoring math?
When I was a senior in high school, my Trigonometry teacher told me I had a gift and should consider teaching or tutoring math. I made myself available as a tutor and have been doing that ever since.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
Every once in a while, a question will be asked that I have to ponder. I am thinking, "How is the best way I can explain this so they will understand the material."

What is the best reaction you’ve ever gotten from a customer?
Most customers feel a genuine sense of relief when the "light bulb comes" on and they proclaim that they "have it," and thank me for opening their eyes.

What’s your favorite part about your job?
The fact that I know all of the answers they are going to ask me. And, that is something that few people can say about their jobs.
