About this tutor
Anova Learning is part of the Neurolinguistic Learning Center. Since 2006, the NLC has been helping students in overcoming the effects of dyslexia, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Anova Learning does not simply offer assistance with subject content. Anova Learning provides Research-based strategies that address the underlying cause of student struggles to help make learning easier, faster and more fun.
My greatest joy is seeing "the lights come on" for my students, seeing them embrace learning, watching their confidence and self-esteem return.

1) Do I learn best by EXAMPLE (being shown HOW to do something) or by CONCEPT and APPLICATION (being shown WHY to do something).
