Diagnostically assess for instructional gaps and then fill in gaps to bolster a strong subject area foundation. 3. Impart test-taking skills and strategies...

The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and...

Outside of school, I really enjoy traveling to other countries during breaks or...

And just as importantly, I will work hard to tailor each tutoring session to the student's needs. I know that everyone's learning style is different, and I view it as my responsibility to cater to the student's strengths while addressing his/her weaknesses. On experience (briefly): I was hired as a teaching...
