I mentor younger students to let them know...

I understand how the young adolescent mind operates, and am able to employ several different teaching styles (e.g. visual, conceptual, verbal) due to...

...in their head. My tutoring approach focuses on developing notetaking strategies and a systematic approach to breaking down information to form strong connections between ideas. The path to success with this method of tutoring looks different for each student, and I enjoy the process of working with them and learning how they think to figure out exactly what that looks like. I have found success using this scheme for achieving both immediate and long-term improvements...
