I want to tutor because I know what it’s like to struggle and no one should be left behind as long as that person is willing to put in the extra work and accept the outcome.... I believe students can become independent learners by knowing their relationship with academics. Actions such as starting an assignment immediately when given, setting time to complete homework, and organizing their notes all lead to an independent learner. I am willing to help students learn how to prioritize their academic life.
