Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
4 SIMPLE Steps!
1. Discuss strengths and weaknesses with the student.
2. Leverage the student's strengths (i.e., study habits) and couple them with my own personal tricks to make learning individualized and more comprehensive.
3. Ensure that the student is understanding -- not memorizing -- by incorporating multi-step math problems and/or quizzes.
4. Build the student's confidence by facilitating student-led sessions.
