My name is Callie, and I recently graduated from Duke University with a major in Biology and a minor in Environmental Policy. I am currently doing research on personalized therapies for glioblastoma brain tumors at the Duke Medical Center, before I continue on to medical school. I love to swim, walk my pug dog, and hang out with family and friends in my free time. I hope I can help you in your studies. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I am an incoming CSE PhD student at the University of Michigan. I graduated from Duke University with a B.S. in Computer Science and Sociology in May 2025. I am passionate about making meaningful connections with students and helping others understand high-level concepts!

I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

I recently graduated from Duke University with a BA in Public Policy. I am in New York City studying acting, and I want to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and compassion that is required on stage to my students. I have experience tutoring for the SATs, and I have had significant experience serving as a mentor to younger students, particularly in the university setting. I love coaching and helping students discover their intellectual passions. Most importantly, I am thrilled by the prospect of helping a student set concrete goals and progress towards actualizing them in an academic realm. But above all I want to work with students to help them develop strategies that are personally effective and furthermore that link their passions with their education.

Hello, I am a Duke University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have experience tutoring all levels of Spanish language, all sections of the SAT, as well as algebra, pre algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus! I love kids & I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of patience! Let me help you :)

I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.In addition to my academic and career experience I spent four years traveling and living abroad. I supported my travels by working part-time, remotely, on my NASA-funded research projects. At the same time I encountered so many new challenges in both language and culture that I am even better equipped to identify diversity in my students' cultures, backgrounds, and motivations. This has made me a better teacher because being immersed in unfamiliar and confusing situations honed my observational skills and intuition. Constant struggles to make myself understood in my mediocre Spanish or to reword a concept for a confused non-native English speaker have expanded my creativity in the range of ways to explain things that I never thought possible.I believe that encouraging a student's natural curiosity is key to successful learning. I prefer to relate learning material to real world applications (particularly outer space) and the interests of the student. I am particularly passionate about making science and math accessible to humanities or social science students and I pride myself on being able to demonstrate the importance of the subject I am tutoring to many areas of academics and civic life.The most important strategy I employ in tutoring is making it a positive experience. That means working with the student to get them on board *wanting* to learn the material for themselves, independent of requirements. One of my favorite ways to do this is to explore the student's passions and interests and then relate the material they need to learn to something they love. In other cases, a positive experience requires eliminating frustration and/or fear of failure. I've always been a successful student, but my efforts to learn Spanish, outside the classroom, because I needed it to survive, are still the most challenging of my life. I can empathize with students who say they "just aren't a math person" and work to dissuade them of that self-concept.I am a strong advocate of active learning (coming around to this slowly while tutoring students with limited English proficiency and seeing, first-hand, active learning activities overcome communication barriers). But I personally learn best by lecture, practice problems, and explaining to others. Thus I communicate with the student to determine their preferred style of tutoring but I'm also aware that students aren't always the most self-aware and I use my observation skills to consider other approaches that may be helpful.

I am a graduate of Duke University (class of 2017), where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Religious Studies with a minor in Economics. I am also a graduate of Yale University (class of 2019), where I received my Master of Arts in Religious Studies with a focus on ancient history. Since graduation, I have worked in the computer software space and as a tutor for over 6 years (both in person and virtually). I have tutoring experience with all grade levels, including undergraduates, in subjects ranging from english and essay writing to ACT/SAT test prep. I love working with students of all ages and personalizing my teaching style to create the most positive and productive learning environment.

I am a graduate of Duke University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Cultural Theory. I am currently completing my PhD in English Literature at the University of Virginia. My dissertation focuses on 20th Century U.S. Fiction, but I also have a strong interest in African-American literature, film studies, popular culture, and gender theory. At UVa, I have taught literature courses as well as first-year writing seminars, which have focused on topics including the American Dream, Gender and Sexuality, and Borders and Frontiers. My favorite things about teaching writing are working individually with students to help them brainstorm ideas and articulate their point of view in their clearest, strongest voice, and seeing their work become stronger across each draft they revise. When working with students in my literature classes at UVa and the North Carolina Governor's School, I especially enjoy helping students develop strategies for careful, critical reading. My years of teaching and tutoring have led me to the firm belief that literary analysis and clear writing are not mysterious talents that you either have or you don'tinstead, I believe anyone can become a better interpreter of literature and a better writer with practice and encouragement. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, going to art museums, and catching up on "Game of Thrones" or "Project Runway."

I am a professionally trained tutor with over five years of tutoring experience. I am currently a medical student at Columbia University. I graduated with high distinction from Duke University, receiving the honors of Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. I majored in Biology with a concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology and a minor in Chemistry.In addition to tutoring math and science, I also greatly enjoy helping students with SAT prep and college essay writing. I worked as a writing tutor for undergraduates for several years and have received extensive professional training in this capacity.I personalize my sessions to match each student's unique learning style and needs. I am enthusiastic about empowering each student to reach his or her full academic potential!

I have always been passionate about tutoring students to help them succeed! I have over five years of tutoring experience in ACT prep, SAT prep, Economics, English, US History, etc.I am currently a senior at Duke University studying Public Policy and Economics. I will be entering the field of management consulting upon graduation.

I find my success in helping others to succeed and reach their goals. My main objective as a tutor is to empower my students and guide them toward their own success by instilling confidence in them. I understand that every student has their own learning style as well as unique passions, strengths and interests. I aim to get to know my students individual strengths and passions in order to make the material interesting and meaningful for them. I believe in an individual's creativity and I create individualized and personal lessons based on what kind of learner a student is. I believe that education is power and that the best way to empower someone is to teach them.I grew up in Long Island, New York and graduated high school with an IB Diploma in 2010. After high school, I headed down south to North Carolina where I studied at Duke University. I created my own interdisciplinary major and graduated in May 2014. During my time in college, I was lucky to spend a semester studying in South Africa at the University of Cape Town and return to the country the next summer to conduct independent research. After graduating from Duke, I accepted an international teaching position with WorldTeach. I was very grateful for the experience to live on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia for a year and teach reading and writing to high school juniors and seniors. Although my formal experience is working with high school aged students, I have background experience working with younger students, as well. I have experience teaching reading and literature, essay, creative and persuasive writing as well as public speaking. I am also experienced in teaching test preparation and test-taking strategies, resume and personal statement preparation, and leadership. Further, I am an experienced researcher and editor. I am an avid reader and a skilled writer. I aspire to help my students feel confident and positive about their education and future.

Hey! I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as many people reach their full potential as possible. Now, through Varsity Tutors, I can help continue helping as many people as possible! I look forward to working with you.

I am a 7-12 certified middle school History teacher. I also am on the premedical track. I have a major in History and minors in Biology/Chemistry from Duke University.I love teaching and firmly believe in the potential of every student. I utilize an uplifting teaching model that empowers students to not only learn the material, but be confident in their knowledge.I have over 8 years of teaching and tutoring experience in a variety of subjects. I have served as a mentor for the Durham Children's initiative, working to build an educational pipeline to college for underserved students. I currently tutor Chemistry, General Science, Math, English, History, and test prep.

I am a graduate of Duke University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and French Language, and a Certificate in Journalism and Media Studies. After graduation I moved to New York City to pursue a career in the television and news industry. I grew up volunteering in the public school systems, and have worked with kids of all ages. Before joining Varsity Tutors, I began tutoring middle and high-school level Math, French and English to students throughout the city, and while I am comfortable tutoring in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about these three. I believe organization and proper study skills are essential for learning, and I enjoy building a trusting relationship with my students to make education fun and productive. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction novels, going to spin class, and trying to cook the perfect fried egg.

I am a student at Duke University studying English, Entrepreneurship, and Photography. I have several years of experience tutoring privately and volunteering as an assistant teacher for elementary school children aged 4-10 years old. I am available to tutor English at all pre-collegiate levels. This may include anything from learning letters to improving in-depth writing and analysis skills. I am also available to tutor Mathematics at an elementary school level. Outside of school, I spend my time reading, running my photography business, hanging out with my dog, and babysitting.

I am committed to making tutoring fun and beneficial for all my students. I graduated magna cum laude from my high school as salutatorian in 2018, with distinction from Duke University with a B.S. in neuroscience in 2022 and am an incoming graduate student at Columbia University. Although each of my academic experiences posed different challenges, one thing made me successful at each stage- my zeal for learning. In my experience as a tutor and in my future endeavors, I want to impart this excitement for learning to each of my students. In tutoring sessions, I introduce topics in fun and engaging ways while thoroughly teaching key concepts and important skills. I then give students the opportunity to personally engage with the material by exploring and problem-solving. I adapt my approaches for each students' particular learning style, strengths, and weaknesses to make them excel in their desired subjects and excited about learning.

With a degree in Mathematics, a Master's in Engineering, and 36+ years at GE Aerospace as a design engineer, I bring real-world insight to tutoring general mathematics, algebra, geometry, and statistics. I help high school and college students understand not just how to solve problemsbut why they work. Will help you learn to break down complex concepts, improve your grades, and build lasting problem-solving skills.

I graduated from Duke University with a BS in Economics and a BA in Linguistics. I was also on the Duke Dance Team, studied abroad in Madrid, Spain, speak Spanish and Chinese, and have worked on a couple start-ups. I will be starting a job in August in finance in New York and have worked as a tutor for 6 years, both privately and with America Reads and Counts. I love working with motivated students and always see great improvement. I am especially strong with SAT and PSAT test prep tutoring. I am excited to work with students in NYC!

I recently graduated from Duke University with a degree in biomedical engineering. I really enjoy math and science and I am eager to help other students in related subjects. In my free time, I like to run, play basketball, spend time at the shore, and cook.While I was a student at Duke, I worked as a student manager for the Women's Basketball team. I also completed a couple years of research in the Human Movement Performance Lab where I analyzed patient's walking patterns both pre- and post- total ankle replacement surgery.

As a student pursuing a Bachelor's in Chemistry from Duke University, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sciences and mathematics. Though I have experience in tutoring, I view every session as an opportunity to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. My specialties include ACT and SAT preparation, as well as subjects like Algebra, Calculus, and Chemistry. I believe in a hands-on approach that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am dedicated to helping students not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a genuine interest in learning.

I'm passionate about education and deeply committed to providing the highest levels of teaching excellence. A bit on my background: I am a Duke University graduate and recently completed my Masters in Advanced Math Education under the auspices of the NYC Teaching Fellows program. Ihave experience teaching various levels of math and understand how to convey concepts in practical and clear ways so students gain a real understanding of the material. My particular specialty is Math. My style of teaching--and my passion for the subject-- resulted in high test scores and the gratification of a lot of students.A passion for math is a contagious thing. My students learn not because they have to learn, but because they want to learn -- a huge difference.

I am a student at Duke University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with Chemistry and German minors. On campus I am involved in the Bilbo lab, which focuses on neuroimmune interactions in abnormal brain development. I am very passionate about helping others enjoy and learn about various fields in STEM.My role as a tutor is to help students navigate any difficulty they may have in the classroom. I strive to help students reach their academic potentials and gain confidence in their ability in the classroom. As a current undergraduate student, I can assist students in finding balance between achieving their academic goals and extracurricular activities. In my free time, I enjoy running, cooking, and cycling.

Through my experiences working with students of all ages, I developed a personalized approach for each individual. Students benefit the most when they hone skills both for the assignment at hand, and for long term success in efficient studying and improved reasoning. I have two years of experience as a full time professional in education, as a middle school teacher and a coordinator for an afterschool program. I tutored students throughout high school and college, in volunteer and private settings. I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American History. I recently received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and began my career as an attorney. I am passionate about continuing my work in education through tutoring. I enjoy tutoring many subjects, particularly History, SAT Reading and Writing, College Essays, and Spanish. I love assisting students in implementing simple but effective changes in their preparation for Standardized Tests that show immediate results. I find this motivates students to continue through struggles in their educational pursuits. When I am not working, I enjoy yoga, running, cooking, traveling and playing the cello.

Hello, I'm Richard and I love teaching. There are few things more rewarding than being able to create enthusiasm for a subject area. My favorites are math, physics and music. I grew up Spanish bilingual and can teach in both languages having TA'd college level Spanish courses. I also lived in Germany for a year and can help students with that. I have a B.S. in Math, B.S. in Physics and a masters degree in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space sciences. I also work as a professional musician and am a very organized and dedicated freelancer.

I am a professional tutor specializing in academic writing and verbal/writing SAT and PSAT prep. I graduated in 2014 from Duke University with a degree in Cultural Anthropology and Theater Studies. My past tutoring experiences include a year with the Duke Athletics Department tutoring undergraduate athletes in anthropology, critical reading, and college-level writing. I have tutored with America Reads/America Counts (ARAC) and co-founded a tutoring program that continues to serve the language education needs of refugee youth in Durham, NC. I’m passionate about not only teaching students the material they need to be successful, but also how to think critically and independently.I start my tutoring sessions with a simple and individualized evaluation—sometimes I will look over students’ past work or practice tests to supplement a discussion about goals for our time together. Once we move on to subject material, my approach is to start with what students already know. When we’re faced with a seemingly impossible essay prompt or test question, we always have piece of knowledge that can help. I help students learn how to use their existing bodies of knowledge to find a way to a solution. We then work on building a toolbox of techniques they can use to handle the kinds of questions and tasks that are particularly challenging for them.I have two big picture goals for my students. First, I want them to leave my sessions feeling heard. I want to address my students’ most pressing questions and concerns, so I strive to create an environment where they’re comfortable articulating them. Second, I want them to walk into their tests or classrooms feeling confident. Even if they won’t know every answer, they'll have strategies and some tricks up their sleeves that will allow them to reach their personal education goals.

Hello! My name is Charlie, and I am a student at Duke University studying Economics and Computer Science. I specialize in tutoring high school math (from Algebra through Calculus) and SAT prep. My tutoring style is flexible and low-pressure. I focus on building real understanding, not just memorizing steps. Whether you're preparing for a big exam or just trying to keep up with class, I'll meet you where you are and adjust each session to your pace and learning style. Looking forward to meeting you!

My tutoring career formally began six years ago--since then, I have been gradually developing my own personalized collection of tips and tools for effective learning in a large range of disciplines.My journey began in high school as a tutor for a handful of middle school students struggling with mathematics. The private sessions instilled within me an appreciation for the power of conceptual connections. I found that each individual student's network of knowledge was vastly different, and so the connections they drew in order to arrive at solutions differed as well. It became my goal and pleasure to guide these students along their own intellectual pathways towards a better understanding.During my undergraduate career at the University of Texas at Dallas, I continued to fortify this skill. Employed by the on-campus Student Success Center as both a Peer Tutor and Supplemental Instruction Leader, I led sessions for advanced engineering mathematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, physics, and calculus. Through these programs, I was introduced to new methods for helping students attain their own understanding of course materials with only minimal guidance from myself. These methods relied upon the fact that, oftentimes, students already possess the foundational knowledge to arrive at correct conclusions--they simply lack the confidence and/or the roadmaps to get there. That's where I come in.After finishing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering last May, I moved back to the Raleigh-Durham area to continue my education at Duke University for an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. As aforementioned, much of my tutoring experience has been in STEM fields (calculus, physics, chemistry, etc.)--but as a student who has prepared for, agonized over, and ultimately suffered through the SAT and GRE standardized tests, I would love to be able to impart my own knowledge and strategies for these as well.If it's nice out and I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I primarily tutor students preparing for the Reading and Writing portion of the SAT, but I also have a background and experience in biology, law, technology, and creative writing. I got my bachelor's degree from Duke University and I have a JD from Boston College. I chose to focus on the SAT as I know how stressful standardized tests can be, especially as they're a factor in the high-stakes world of college admissions. Regardless of the subject, I adjust my tutoring approach to a student's individual personality and needs - just because a test may be standardized does not mean I use a "one-size-fits-all" approach to helping students! Outside of academia, I enjoy travel (I've been to 34 states and seven countries), fitness, cooking, gaming, EDM, and watching sports.

I am a Duke University graduate in Economics and Computer Science. I am currently pursuing an MBA degree at the Yale School of Management. I have worked in the financial field, both at a management consulting firm and a fortune 500 company. My hobbies include playing and coaching soccer.I have a passion for teaching, coaching and mentoring others, and I can???t wait to help you reach your personal goals. I specialize in quantitative subjects and economics where I have had formal education as well as significant exposure through my work experience. I have recently taken the GMAT and scored in the 99th percentile, and I would love to help someone who is preparing for gradate school exams. However, I am also available and thoroughly enjoy tutoring various quantitative subjects and economics to people of all ages.

My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to find out how each student learns and create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential while feeling good about themselves.

I am a rising senior at Duke University in Durham, NC. When not passing my time sleeping outdoors waiting for assorted basketball tickets as a "Cameron Crazie," I study Evolutionary Anthropology with fortunate access to Duke's fascinating lemurs and primates. My aspiration since my matriculation at college has been to pursue medicine, and I have just recently finished piecing together my application for medical school. Naturally, having just finished studying for the MCAT, I have a particular expertise in science of all kinds ranging from Biology and Chemistry to Physics. However, having also taken many AP courses in high school, I have a thorough working knowledge in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Spanish, and Psychology. I have tutored all throughout high school and also have previous experience working with Mad Science of Long Island teaching general concepts in science to younger students of ages between 5-12 years old. In my free time, I am an avid soccer player and music fanatic (particularly alternative/independent rock). I am extremely passionate about teaching (both my brother and mother are teachers) and truly look forward to sharing some of the tools I have developed along the road with others. I know personally of the successes and, unfortunately, failures that have faced me upon my academic path and believe my down-to-earth and empathetic style makes me uniquely well-suited to help others along theirs.

I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with minors in Education and Documentary Studies. Before I went to college, I spent a lot of time in an elementary school classroom volunteering, especially in the summers, and that was when I realized I love tutoring. I spent all four years of college tutoring local students in the area in math, reading, and government. I am in the process of applying to law school, so I have experience in the admissions on process for both college and graduate school. In my spare time, I enjoy fashion, photography, reading, and yoga.

I'm Rob! I graduated from Duke University in 2016 with a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Economics. I've been a math teacher in the DOE for the last 2 years and have a Master's of Arts in Teaching. I specialize in high school math and test prep for the ACT, SAT, and GRE.As a math teacher for the last 2 years, I've found that students often aren't given enough time in the classroom to fully grasp new concepts before moving on to new material. This often leads to "gaps" in their knowledge, which are hard to fill without providing them with 1-on-1 help. This is how I can benefit my students the most, by providing the the 1-on-1 attention they need. When I start with a new student, I first work to identify the gaps in their knowledge, and then methodically fill in those gaps to help them reach a stronger conceptual understanding.I want to help my students as much as possible. As part of my approach, I like to understand my students' long term academic or professional goals to make sure I'm working with them in a way that's most beneficial to those goals.I live in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. I'm can do remote sessions or in-person. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free 15 minute consultation!

My mission as a Varsity Tutor is to provide my students confidence in their academic abilities and provide mentorship and advice on their academic careers.

I have a life-long love of learning, which I Iove to share with others. I have a B.A. in Psychology from the University of South Florida, and two master's degrees in religion from Duke University. I have thirteen years of full-time teaching experience. I can provide tutoring in English, Reading, History, Geography, Government and Politics, and Religious Studies. On the elementary and middle school levels, I can also provide tutoring in Math and Science. I believe that all students have the potential to learn, and I am excited to play a role in helping students achieve their learning potential.

Hi! I'm a passionate and enthusiastic educator who loves helping students from elementary through college grow and succeed. I've taught all subjects as a substitute teacher at Durham Academy, but Spanish and French are my favorite! I also provided one-on-one tutoring with One Up Tutors, making learning languages and other subjects fun, engaging, and rewarding. Most recently, I worked as a teacher assistant at Duke University, helping students navigate ethics courses, organize their work, and understand complex ideas. I enjoy working with learners of all ages and abilities, and I'm all about creating highly effective lessons. Let's make learning exciting and help you reach your goals!

I started tutoring fellow students when I was in high school. When I got to Duke, I had the opportunity to tutor at a local middle school. I have tutored a variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is math because of how much I enjoy it. I think that a tutor's enjoyment for a subject can directly impact how the student feels about it. If I can help a student become less frustrated with a subjects concepts, learn how to stay organized and keep up with their work, I know I have done my job well. I personally love to learn and even after having graduated, I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn new things. Additionally, in my spare time I enjoy reading, board games, and rock climbing. I am excited to work as a tutor once again in order to give students a chance to learn one-on-one to get a deeper and more clear understanding of their study material. By having the ability to clear up confusion with material every week via a tutor, the student will find it easier in the future to build on these concepts and to keep up with work as it gets more challenging.

I love teaching. I have been a tutor in various subjects since my freshman year of high school when I tutored students in Pre-Calculus. Since then, I have always been a math tutor and have continued to tutor in other subjects as well, including Spanish and U.S. history as well as tests such as the SAT and ACT. I have also tutored students from ages 5-17.My teaching philosophy entails a lot of practice and self-discovery. From my own experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going the extra mile by doing more practice problems than are actually assigned or watching videos on certain concepts helps reinforcement and allows students to thrive in the classroom. As a tutor, I like to guide students in the correct direction and help them gain footing when learning a new subject; however, I also like to give students independence so they can determine their best method for learning.
