Susan's Tutoring
About
My service includes finding the problem and reteaching. Sometimes a student misses a key concept that keeps them from succeeding as the work becomes more complicated. Tutoring should be more than homework help. The student needs to take what you are working on to the classroom and beyond.
I enjoy working with the students and sharing my knowledge. It is very rewarding to see a student have the 'ahha' moment when it all comes together.
