Hello! I am Dawn. I love tutoring, especially in one on one situations, because I love to watch the light in someone's eyes when they "get it." I can and will use various methods from visual to lecture to help you or your child learn the subject. I have worked with students who just needed help studying and ones who had extreme test anxiety. I am willing to help you with what YOU need.... When teaching one on one you are able to make the method fit the student. Learning is individual, and I enjoy being able to make the experience worthwhile for the student.
