I believe that every student learns differently and that as a tutor part of...

...model the correct response for the student, so they are able to watch me first. Then, I act as a facilitator and allow the student to attempt a similar problem with my guidance. And finally, the student works independently and I provide feedback after they are finished.

I have also tutored unofficially on test-prep with students in my area.... If you provide students with a structured plan...

As a linguistics major, I have a nuanced understanding of how grammar works and, further, of how to conceptualize it and explain it in terms that a student will understand. When a student is having difficulty with a grammatical concept, I begin by explaining it with reference to concepts that they do...
