About
As a Tutor I truly enjoy helping the student to work toward self-responsibility and self-direction. I am able to do this by helping the student learn not only the subject matter, but how to learn and approach new material/experiences. Especially in today's day and age learning classifications aren't just broken down into two groups: those who learns by watching and those who learn by doing. In our society today with the technological advancements and changes in social environments, the classification of learning methods cannot be narrowed down to two groups. As a Tutor I aim to aspire by learning how the student learns. Then adapting and building on their strengths with them, in order to achieve their life and educational goals.
Honestly, all it takes is one genuine and understanding connection to begin a stronger future for our students.
As a Tutor, I strongly believe my students are the future change makers. All they need sometimes is a little help and encouragement.
