...the opportunity to work individually with anyone seeking extra help. During a typical meeting I spend as much time listening as instructing. My goal is to help a student gain greater understanding of the material but just as importantly to help build confidence through practice and instruction that is customized to meet a particular student's needs. I think the best tutoring session occurs when there is a give-and-take of questions, responses and recommended solutions: maintaining...

...a level of detail and precision that can only be achieved by a pencil, an instrument with a sharp, definitive point, but still one that doesn't dominate the picture like a pen, which for me has always ended up making my picture looking like a cartoon when I sought to make my picture more realistic. I also love to write. I wrote a romance novel two years ago and I asked my family to read...

What makes me a great tutor is my passion for student success and my love for the subjects I want to teach.

I use a combination of several different techniques to enable students to improve in their reading and writing skills, and try to use resources that are not only helpful but also relate to the students' interests.
