...History because I believe the understanding of history is crucial to understanding the world today. I start tutoring with each student by asking him or her what topics trouble them the most, and what studying styles he or she uses.

I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... 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.
