...to work with individual students and help them with the specific skills they need to improve. I listen to my students, help them set realistic goals, and then push them. I find tutoring to be a lot of fun, and you too should have fun as we work as a team to improve your skills and increase your confidence. I am on your side, and it would be my pleasure to work with you!... My philosophy as a tutor is that your time is valuable, and I will help you set and meet your goals. I don’t lecture; I listen to you. One-on-one tutoring is my chance to see what you know, and that allows us to work on only what you need. I function as your academic coach. We will work together to set your goals before I give you an assignment. Then, we will work together and strive for constant progress. We can have fun while we work. My goal is to get you interested in the subject you want to work on, and then to give you realistic and manageable benchmarks to meet. You will increase your understanding, and become more confident. You can do it!
