I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

...West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting.
