He gotinto teaching mathematics after a college professor toldhim he was better at explaining math concepts than shewas, and he has never looked back.Jared found KVCC a great fit for him and a great placefor students, with many advantages not offered at largerinstitutions.“Here at KVCC our math classes are small, whichallows the instructors to interact and get to knoweach student,” Harvey said.“The students are morelikely to be engaged in class, because each coursewe offer is directly related to a program—studentsactually use the math that is being taught, whetherthey are in nursing or applied electronics.”Jared also teaches classes at KVCC’s Buker facility inAugusta, and online, and said the flexibility this givesstudents who do not live within easy commuting distanceof Fairfield is one of the College’s growing strengths.“I have a few students who leave work to come to myclass at Buker, and then return to work when class isover,” Harvey said.“Students find online classes veryconvenient because they can fit the class into theireveryday life without the hassle of traveling. Thissemester I even have a student who lives in Canadaenrolled in my online class! There are no boundarieswith online learning.”
