Through effective communication and patience, the student is not only able to...

...my goal to help students reach that goal in the best way for the student. My students are often surprised at how easy their least favorite subjects have become! I have previously tutored and led study sessions in a variety of subjects. I also grew up with two younger twin brothers who I've been tutoring and helping with homework for most of my life. In tutoring, my strategy is to determine the learning style of...

...Cruz with a degree in Mathematics. I love teaching people about Math (even if they don't love Math), and how to take standardized tests. I think that these are subjects that seem mysterious to a lot of people, but they actually make a lot of sense once you approach them the right way. However, there is no one "right way" - it's different for everyone! My favorite part about tutoring is figuring what is the...
