My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored. I have university teaching experience and tutoring students for 19 years in a variety of subjects for students in grades 1-12, as well as traditional and non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate students.
