...I will often ask him/her a couple follow-up questions in an effort to identify the root cause of his/her misconception. Then the student and I can go to work on clearing up this misconception. In general, my goal is to help students first understand WHY certain mathematical principles work, because then it will be easier...

...of the fundamentals with practical problem solving techniques. I also ask a lot of simpler questions to make you solve the problem on your own. I pay close attention to your learning characteristics: -Do you like to follow a set of direct instructions to get the result? Or -You like to find a quickest way...

...and skill levels, primarily in math. I enjoy taking a "goal oriented" approach to tutoring, in which the student and I can break down our main goal into smaller goals.
