My tutoring philosophy generally leans toward teaching through personalization and immersion. Should you choose to hire me, we may find ourselves talking about parties and movie tickets to explain sunken economic costs, or we may look like we're playing charades while I help you learn some new German vocabulary. Besides just being more fun, research shows these methods are the most effective at helping students truly understand what they're studying because they have to think analytically rather than simply memorizing facts and figures. Good thinking skills leads to better problem solving, better test results, and better grades.
