Daniel's Tutoring
About
My service stands out because I am also a middle school teacher. I take all the skills and techniques I learn in the classroom and use them with my tutees - it's fun for me. I've taught both math and english at the middle school level, so I use strategies from both subject areas.
I love helping people learn new things, because I love learning myself. My undegraduate degree was in liberal arts and mathematics. I love topics across english, reading, literature, math, science, Western philosophy, theology, Eastern philosophy.
