I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel.

In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.
