My tutoring style is accommodating yet focused. I am keenly interested in what is relevant to the student, especially when there is room for creativity and flexibility in our tutoring times. I’m very prepared and organized for the lesson, but I am sensitive to students' input for each lesson. I strive to provide meaningful lessons and assistance to reach students’ goals. I incorporate games and activities with young students to review and solidify the students' understanding while maintaining a positive atmosphere.
