That’s why I love tutoring – it allows me to get to know someone and help him or her learn in a way that works. When I was in school, I felt very frustrated because I couldn’t grasp certain concepts. It wasn’t until I realized...

...to first understand my student's specific issue, and work to address him or her as an individual. I help them develop strategies so when they are alone and facing a difficult problem, they have the foundation and confidence to work through it by themselves.
