...change in other students. My tutoring style is very hands-on and conversational. The wonderful blessing (and occasional curse) of English and writing is that there's usually more than one correct answer to everything. I always listen to the student and make sure there is room for open discussion about the best ways to convey an idea or solve a problem.

I am most passionate about math though, because it can be related to any subject, and because the skills that are developed through mathematical thinking can help create success in other areas.

...English was also a subject I tutored frequently at SASSO, so I am very prepared to aide in all aspects of the subject. I have a strong foundation in multiple choice exams and test-taking strategies. I really like to stress a knowledge of material, but I also am very big on studying smarter, not harder.
