...fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class.

...an IB Diploma Candidate. I am now at the University of South Florida pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Once I have my degree I plan to work for corporations like Northrop Grumman. My strongest subject is math and I am open to tutoring many levels of it. What I believe to be the best teaching style is repetition. Especially in math, students need a foundation to approach a problem which comes with repetition.
