" I always try to work from a position of kindness and have a great deal of life-experience that I bring to my tutoring regardless of the subject I am teaching. When I tutor, I feel that I am able to empathize with my student’s frustrations and this establishes a bond of trust.

"It's important to understand the WHY behind something, rather than just the HOW. Sometimes, it can help to relate a difficult concept to a real-life analogy, to draw a diagram, or to make up silly memory devices (King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti, anyone??).
