As a tutor, I aim to help students reach and exceed their goals...

...help you obtain the grades you want, but I will also help you find the real world application behind the subjects. It is well researched in teaching pedagogy that when comparing extrinsic and intrinsic motivated learning, students who are intrinsically driven not only perform better on tests, but gain longer lasting and higher quality education.
