Coherent Communication
About
My tutoring style stands out because I care about sharing an upbeat connection with the student. The way I accentuate the positive helps the student identify their strengths. I share excitement about learning and progress with the student. Having as much fun as we can while we learn together is a priority.
I really enjoy working in a learning environment. I am grateful to be able to boost self confidence while improving academic skills.
