As a tutor, I am aware that the student is the top priority. I want the student to reach their full potential under my tutoring and develop a rapport with them so that they feel comfortable reaching out to me. Accessibility is most important to me and it really enhances the tutoring experience.

...very important to avoid overwhelming students with the big picture of something like an SAT or AP exam and prefer to break down the material into manageable pieces which, once mastered, will allow the student to excel at the subject as a whole.

...coursework in Biotechnology and English, I recently graduated with a 3.85 GPA after seven years of work experience. My overall approach overall is to make learning as fun as it should be by raising the stakes and let a student's curiosity thrive.

...teach is French because it is such a unique and interesting language, and it keeps me in practice. I teach my students by starting with the fundamentals and working my way up.

...of patience, and am very creative. I find that people of all ages struggle with some sort of learning curve. Finding what works for each person individually is how to teach. Everyone learns differently. Some people are great listeners and do great with dictation, while some need to be hands on, and some people also just are visual learners.
