Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Bridgeport, CT

Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

This added experience makes me a dynamic and engaging speaker that directly boosts my ability to convey these ideas...

...children in the subjects of math and science. All of my students have demonstrated great improvement in their test scores and showed a much better understanding of the material.

I also seek to be personally approachable to students because when there is a divide between tutor and tutoree, I do not believe that the student learns as much as they potentially can.
