Award-Winning Biology Tutors in Hillsboro, OR

...I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with the ideas of others something sort of rare for children, teens, and college students at times. I look forward to studying with you!

...help me work through all of my weak sections. To me, it's not enough to understand a concept, but to retain that understanding. I can't recount the number of times I've understood a subject for a test and then completely forgotten it the next week.

This enables the author to get their point across exactly as they intend, and to do it succinctly enough to hold the reader's undivided attention.
