...We just need to find the right ways to teach them. Not every student learns in the same way, so it is up to teachers and tutors to help students discover how they learn best. It is often hard to find this out in a classroom of 25 or more students, but with a tutor, students can often find out how they can become lifelong learners and enrich their lives in the process.... I believe that all students have the ability to learn, and with a growth mindset, all students can be successful at whatever they choose to do. I believe that differentiated learning is the key to helping students succeed in school, which is why I enjoy tutoring. I am able to provide 1:1 instruction, thereby giving each student exactly what he or she needs to excel.

I believe that all students can achieve. It takes someone who is willing to work with each student to find out how they learn and apply those techniques to help the student learn.... My teaching philosophy is to help students reach their full potential while providing a safe, caring, and engaging environment.... In the first session with a student, I would find out a little bit about them and find out what might motivate them. I would also do an initial assessment to see where I need to begin my instruction.
