...teaching and learning! I take pride in every session I book and look for personal/individual approaches so each student can further understand their unique style of learning.

...allowing them to approach the subject from multiple angles until they find one that works for them.

...algebra is in my opinion. When I tutor, I give students room to discover the path to their own understanding of a topic or concept. I'm a "guide on the side."
