...tutor for college freshmen and sophomore level math classes as part of my membership in the Institute of Industrial Engineers during my years in college, and have worked in an elementary school environment where my duties as a technology coordinator occasionally required me to instruct students.

...my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed.

In my other job I design houses, and when I'm not doing that I love to read, and hike and do some...

Having a personal tutor to cater to the way a student learns greatly benefits the student, inside and outside of the general classroom. Inside the classroom, they will excel and have a better understanding of the material. Outside the classroom, once the student can...
