...one's peers. This is due, I think, to the personalization of the learning process that is not justly possible in a full classroom. It would not be fair for a teacher in such an environment to answer just one student's questions, and tailor future lessons according to the needs of that student! However, in a 1-on-1 setting, the sole concern of the teacher is to help a single student achieve their academic goals. I am...

For that reason, at the start of our sessions together, I will work together with the student to create a learning plan to meet the student's needs in the way that works best for them as an individual. I am a kind, patient and approachable teacher, and I excel at helping students build confidence in...

I have taught for over thirty years and I have found nothing is more gratifying than seeing the smile on a student's face when they grasp a new concept.
