" When I tutor, I try to get to know the student first before delving directly into the material, so that the student comes to trust me, and so that I get a better feel for the student's interests and individual learning style. I think it's important to remember that everyone learns differently, and I try to cater my tutoring techniques to the specific student's learning style. I am dedicated to helping each student reach his/her full potential, and I really love the "aha" moment, so to speak, when a student understands something that she/he didn't understand moments earlier!." ...

"
In addition, I think it's important to use the knowledge that students already have to allow them to discover and intuit answers that they didn't know they were capable of producing. This requires enhancing each student's confidence as developing writers and readers.
My extensive experience as a tutor and teacher has informed this approach. I've worked for three years at a local university's writing center, and for two and a half years as an adjunct English composition professor.
