...each student individually and not stopping until the student understands. I believe that the best way to learn is to break down each topic to its core concepts so that the student understands each concept. Every question has a pattern that uses the same core concepts over and over again. If I am able to teach these core concepts once, the student will be able to do any sort of question in the future.

Life has given me many chances to learn, and I hope to give that same opportunity to others through Varsity Tutors.
