I'm happy to offer any help necessary along the way, but my goal is to get each student to the point where they can consistently complete the topic/task they are struggling with on their own.

...those concepts, and how to do the math required to solve problems related to those concepts. I make an excellent tutor because I once struggled with learning concepts myself.

I tutor in all subjects: math, history, science, and language arts - in grades K-8th. I believe that teaching includes building interest and engagement with students. When they are interested in the topic, they are more willing to participate, ask questions, and ultimately master the content.
