If there are any doubts/misconceptions on any area, I can easily clarify them with real life...

...way to connect whatever I am reading to my own life, or, more importantly, to your life. Whenever we can make such a connection with the author, our reading becomes deeper and more relevant to our own lives. As for writing, this is an extension of one's thinking, so learning how to write with proficiency also means learning how to think with proficiency. Writing is a big subject, however, and becoming proficient can be a...

It truly generates appreciation for learning and the greater world community. My experience has taught me that, when it comes to education, learning isn't always confined to a classroom setting.

My tutoring style is patient, yet persistent. I believe that every student has the ability to comprehend material if it is explained in the right way, so I am creative in my approach to teaching until the student understands.

After that, I will provide examples or use similar problems to have them work it out themselves to make sure...
