What is your overall tutoring philosophy? 

Tutoring is a process. Students mature academically at different rates, as they adjust to teachers’ expectations and new subject matter. Good tutoring nurtures the self-confidence of students, so they can feel in control as they navigate coursework or tests on their own. Good tutoring coaches students through material they are struggling with in the more impersonal classroom setting. Finally, good tutoring helps students become independent learners. We believe that an individualized approach to tutoring and the development of a mentor-student relationship are the fastest, most constructive ways to achieve their goals.
