I am very passionate about helping students become the best they can be. I am not here to give all the answers, but rather to help students reach the answers themselves. My end goal is not to help students through one class, or one assignment, but to help them develop the tools they will use for the rest of their academic careers, and hopefully, the rest of their lives.

Q&A with Eliora

I would help them find one aspect of it that they can appreciate. For example, it is hard to get engaged in an essay if one does not like the subject. I would discuss the topic with the student, and we would come up with a new perspective they could write the essay from. What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material? I always ask questions. Simply saying "You understand?" is not always enough. I ask them to demonstrate if they know how to do it, and if they are struggling, we go back through the material.
