Having my own freelance tutoring business I know that seeking the extra help from a tutor means that the student already has a desire to improve. I've noticed that learning effectively comes from having a strong curiosity. I am a published author and have dedicated my book to my teacher/tutor who cultivated the curiosity and desire to write well. As a tutor it is my job to help nurture that curiosity so that the pupil enjoys the subject matter. I take this approach when I tutor anyone from a third grader to a medical student hopeful. Loving what you learn will pave the way for your intellectual endeavors and will make sure that the knowledge

I'm currently a Business Administration student at CSU San Marcos, finishing up my 2nd year. I'm also a military spouse. Outside of that, I'm fairly new to tutoring.

While I volunteered there, I'd help whichever table the teacher would assign me too. I'd also take a group of students to an outside table to tutor them on their worksheets. What I really enjoy about tutoring is knowing you're encouraging students to continue their educational journey by helping them work through challenges they might encounter a
