Hobbies

I believe that every student deserves a chance to really comprehend and hopefully even come to enjoy a variety of subjects in school, and use school as a tool to find their passions. As a tutor, I get to provide that extra help that may not be provided in the classroom. One of my foremost goals as a tutor is to ensure that my students feel comfortable to ask for clarification, no matter how long it takes to understand an idea, without embarrassment. I look forward to help students understand subject matter, and to grow their confidence in the classroom!
