...specific material, and teach as we encounter new things! I always stop for a question. And I ask a lot of leading questions myself, like, "What if it were like this instead?"

When I tutor I ask: what needs to be learned,...

I have four years of tutoring experience, and as a student myself, I connect well with other students to understand how they learn and develop the best plan of action.
