Don't risk your grade/money on mere paper qualifications

You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe it is very important to teach students in a way in which they will understand and retain the information. Each student learns differently and I am willing to implement the teaching method that would be most effective for each student.

More About This Tutor...

I love watching learners understand and succeed. As an instructor, I look at each student as an individual whose learning style is unique to them, and then I adapt my instruction to best fit their style. I love getting up and moving, playing games, and using creativity to bring understanding of a concept. If teachers will truly get to know their students and show them how to learn the best way that fits them, the possibilities are endless.

This has allowed to me gain extensive knowlege on the learning process and how different students learn best, visual, auditroy etc. I am focused not just on helping the student problem solve or find an answer but making sure they understand the process.
