Anthony
Certified Tutor
I would make a good tutor because I have been a teacher of elementary students for 14 years and I know what is takes to help students learn things on their level. I walk students through the problems and help them pick apart what the questions are asking. I also help students with the process of elimination and understanding each answer. I am patient and look forward to working with your student.
