I ask students a lot of questions during tutoring...

...The ACES program caters to international students or students who speak English as a non-primary language. Over the course of my tenure at SJC, I realized that the personal and direct education of the tutor and tutee relationship agrees more with my teaching style than the more generalized teaching in the classroom.

I work to design my approach to fit the student's needs and meet them where they are....
