Lauren: Long Island Social Studies tutor
Certified Social Studies Tutor in Long Island, NY

Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.
