Jamie: Kansas City SSAT tutor
Certified SSAT Prep Tutor in Kansas City, MO
Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone to make a connection; learn something new or difficult; or to see how they apply this new understanding. Some information can be dry, scary, or very difficult to learn, but I think learning should not only be productive, but also fun.

Our brains work by combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more)...

They can tap their body as they learn the stronger math concepts. They can hear the directions read, they can read in silence and be asked comprehension questions. There is no need to stick to a formula that matches every student as there is no such thing.
