I work as a math tutor, and I was wondering if any EAs might need help with math along their journey to become better EAs?
Presently, I can help with algebra through precalc, but I’ve taken and done well in calculus 1, 2, and 3, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and Statistics, and I could relearn those in order to teach them.
Would this be a useful service to other EAs? What do you think? Do any of you think, “if only I could do a certain type of math, then I could do a certain EA career?” Does a lack of math skills prevent people from pursuing certain EA options?
How could math tutoring fare within the Importance, Tractability, Neglectedness (ITN) framework?
Learning math could be extremely important depending on what you’re using it for.
As far as tractability goes, learning many math subjects is very tractable for most people, even if it doesn’t feel like it is.
However, math education is far from neglected.
Does anyone here need help with math currently? Feel free to DM me :)
Hi, I doubt it’s very useful but I would be glad to help with math (I’m a math researcher so any math level that you take in class is probably fine).
More on the meta level, I would like to see a coordination mechanism in which people can teach / tutor other people in skills that are useful for impact. Does that exist? Would it be worth it to organize it?
