...learning process. Flexibility, perceptiveness, perseverance, and patience are all things I believe tutors need. My approach is to see what the student knows first, ask a lot of questions, explain things multiple ways, and test for understanding. Learning is a reciprocal process, so I definitely believe in soliciting feedback from students and parents. Outside of academia, I enjoy running by the lake, preserving fall foliage, playing with dough (real, not play-doh), and playing violin.
