I believe that every student has the capacity to succeed, as long as they take responsibility for their efforts and progress. Because of this, I believe in encouraging students to set their own goals and dictate the pace of their learning. The first question we will address in any session is, "What do you want to accomplish?" We will also work on how to apply that same question to the course, semester, and school year. My role as a tutor is to help students reach the objectives that they have set for themselves by providing study tools and resources, teaching strategies for learning, helping students to comprehend difficult or confusing subject material, and encouraging them if and when they doubt their ability to accomplish their goals. I aim to help students build the skills, work ethic, and fortitude they need to succeed beyond the course or test for which they've asked my help.
