...resource teacher for other teachers, I have also had the pleasure of working with adult learners. The rapport and interaction with students is as important to me as the mathematics. Many people come to tutors with math anxiety and previous failures. The best tutors learn to "read" each individual and offer them exactly what they need at a certain time. Because I develop a rapport and truly enjoy my students, I am able to quickly...

...others succeed in biology, particularly subjects like genetics and physiology. My tutoring style is to work through problems or subjects with my student and have him or her explain how they arrived at the answer or point out what they think are important concepts.
