Award-Winning Math Tutors for Students in Tacoma, WA

...variety of AP tests. If I were to describe my teaching style, when it comes to standardized tests I'm not someone who likes to focus on memorization or learning specific math or grammar rules. I believe more points can be won/lost based on the process that a student uses to answer questions. How many times have you looked at the answers to a question you got wrong on a test and realized that you knew...

But after being in the service...

...(government/US history), vocabulary, customer service and tutoring. I believe in teaching the individual. To me, this means learning who the student is both inside and outside of the learning environment. Everyone learns differently, but people learn more quickly when the information is presented in a manner that is relevant to their lives. Learning a student's interests allows me to customize a specific curriculum to meet their individual needs. I have also tutored and taught, both...
