...those exams. Four years of high school knowledge seems like an overwhelming amount to tackle. But unlike exams you may have taken in the past, the tests don't want memorization of times and places but the use of evidence to answer questions and draw conclusions. The math is around 55% algebra so that might need some review, but it is mostly Algebra 1 and, I promise, is manageable. You can do this. Hopefully, I can...

Not everyone learns in the same way and sometimes we just need things explained a in a way that we can better understand them even if it's the second or third time we're hearing about it.

As a history major, visiting historical sites, such as Rome and Paris, really brought my history books to life and I cannot wait to incorporate this experience into my tutoring. I am an avid reader and will be graduating university with my bachelors in History within the...

Tutoring sessions with me would be more of a discussion of important fundamentals and then applying handy problem-solving techniques to...

...to improve their writing. My goal for any type of writing session is for the student's voice to come through clearly. It's the student's thoughts, ideas, creativity, and imagination that are of primary importance. Spelling and grammar are some of the tools to develop that clarity in expression. I worked with native English speakers as well as international students at the writing center, and I also have experience living overseas (4 years in Tanzania). I...
