About Dwight
My name is Dwight Dunn and I have been teaching for approximately 17 years. I have taught at varying levels which include the following: High Schools, Community Colleges, and Universities. Primarily I teach the following courses: Personal Finance and Investing, PreAlgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, SAT & ACT Math, and Calculus.
My Credentials include the following: Masters of Science in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Math and Biology, and a Diploma in Accounts and Economics.
Teaching Philosophy:
As a teacher of mathematics, I embrace that the only way to learn mathematics is to do it and understand the rationale behind each step in each problem. By frequently associating oneself to multiple algorithms that surround a specific concept is the only way to perfect those skills needed to gain mastery. On the contrary, the process of reading examples and proofs in textbooks and from lecture notes is valuable but real learning comes through one's own efforts at solving mathematical problems. This is attained quite frequently by class assignments, but also by in-class discussions and exercises. I view my role as a facilitator for this process. That involves giving students the framework that will cultivate learning in a way that they can explore ideas on their own thus being their own master of the learning process. Thus constant stimulation and nurturing will be given to students that will aid in their development which may take the form of facts given, techniques, differentiated instructions, and encouragement.
My goals in teaching are not just to promote learning of the subject matter. I also try to help the students learn to think critically and logically, learn problem-solving methods and techniques, and improve writing skills (writing clearly and concisely, explaining step-by-step processes, providing valid reasons for logical arguments). I try to help students see the course material in a holistic context by requiring them to synthesize the various concepts of the course by applying them together. In addition, I try to let students realize the interrelatedness of math to other disciplines and how certain techniques learned can be used in a daily setting. One such example that I strongly believe is that our physical world is mainly created with mathematics and it is similar to a computer-generated world that relies on algorithms for everything in that simulated world to take place. So finally I have adopted the Motto of The Mico University College Jamaica (The oldest teacher training institution in the Western Hemisphere). Motto “ DO IT WITH THY MIGHT”
Finally, I am an avid soccer player that loves the beach all day every day.

My teaching methodology employs a number of different instructional strategies that normally start with an assessment of students knowledge gaps then create a plan to satisfy their needs. The strategies that I may use include multiple representations, discussions and reflection and problem solving opportunities-target the aspects of rigor within this standard.

I worked with Dwight as a high school teacher 4 years ago. He's a dedicated teacher, who will exceed your expectations.
Dwight has been my trusted colleague in the field of education for the past four years. He has proven himself to be very professional and knowledgeable as a math teacher. He exhibits high moral integrity and great commitment to his craft as an educator.
Mr. Dunn is one of the best math teachers I have ever worked with. He is very knowledgeable and is always throughout in how he explains the concepts. I wish all math teachers teaches the way he does!!!
Hello I have worked alongside Dwight for many years and he is a hard working, trustworthy, motivated teacher who cares for the success of his students. He will go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that his students have all the resources they need.
I have known Dwight for over 30 years. I have also worked with him for 5 years and have seen the quality instruction he provided for his students. Dwight has been and will always be a dedicated educator who finds passion in imparting important knowledge to students. He is well versed as well as profoundly experienced in teaching mathematics. As a mathematician, he ensures that learners fully understand concepts taught by reaching their level, using known to unknown strategies, and providing a rigorous teaching methodology to improve students mathematical skills. He is patient and believes that every child can learn. He is trustworthy and portrays integrity and respect in his demeanor and interaction with students. Based upon the foregoing, I do recommend Dwight as a Superprof teacher
I have known Dwight for over 7 years. He's a dedicated teacher who always put his students first. He doesn't stop until you get that concept, until he's satisfied that you can execute the task. I would recommend Dwight, because I am living proof that anyone can learn mathematics. He's patient and clear in his instructions. Most importantly, he's approachable and he knows his content.
