I used my guiding experience to help one student overcome what had become a debilitating and illogical fear of math in order for her to pass a college placement test (which she had failed many times previously) so that she could go on to pursue her own passion of fashion design.

Several courses were solely online or independent study, so I understand how to get fully prepared for an exam if you have a unique situation or simply don't click with a teacher.
