I have a great deal of experience (about 3-4 years) in tutoring students of various ages - whether it be test prep, course work (economics, biology, various math levels), etc. I believe in a three pronged approach to helping students - clarity, comprehension, and persistence.

For every student, I will create a personalized lesson plan, incorporating instruction and practice problems into the teaching. I notice that some students are very visual learners while others prefer an auditory explanation and discussion. By highlighting the student's strengths, understanding their weaknesses, and tailoring the instruction to their learning style,...
