I love helping students attain that "win" moment. The "win" moment is when a student is struggling with a concept, but then it all becomes clear. It's such an empowering experience.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With new students, I like to find out their goals and what they perceive is hindering them from reaching their goal. I also like to discuss if the tutoring sessions are specific for growing one's understanding of certain skills or for a grade in class. Those two different outcomes require different approaches.
