Christopher O. - San Francisco, CA 94105 (10.1 mi) - Writing Skills Tutor - $50.00/hr.
Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts.
