Dear Parents and Students,
It has been and always will be a joy to help the students and parents who choose me as their tutor. As always, I wish you success in the areas you pursue. To be successful in anything however, including school, it requires determination toward, organization behind, and a good knowledge of achieving whatever your endeavor may be. It is my goal to help my students improve in these areas first and foremost, as this improves their chances of success.
Determination isn't as hard as it seems. Humans are naturally motivated to learn. Sometimes, however, students have trouble with issues that impede on their concentration or motivation. This could be caused by something as simple as a seating arrangement problem in class, as fundamental as not understanding the material, or as severe as issues of bullying in school, or psychological issues. Whatever the case may be, I will do my best to seek solutions within the realms of education to help you or your child get back on track.
Organization. This is an area where most of my students struggle. Sometimes, a student could understand anything "if only they were more organized." Sometimes persistence sets in, and in other cases, students don't see the benefit to or key behind organization. The student must have a system of organization that orders their papers and serves as a tool for record-keeping and studying. Whatever the case may be, I am willing to be of assistance.
Finally, where I focus the majority of my efforts, students must develop a sufficient understanding of the material. Whatever the reason may be: too fast-paced of a class, not understanding the teacher, or even just needing to be presented the material in a different way, people have sought out private lessons. My goal in tutoring is to prepare students for the exam. I always give my students a chance to work on a problem without assistance before I do anything else. School can be tough, and there's no one to help you on the exam. With a solid method of teaching and a proficient understanding of the areas of study, I can walk you through the steps, or explain or converse about the concepts. It's rare that, with the proper assistance, a student simply can not understand a math class at their grade level, but if this is the case, schools can be contacted and arrangements can be made to specify an individualized course of education.
Whatever direction you decide to pursue, I hope you choose the best resources for your or your child's education, ethical (as always), but most importantly, solid, founded and truthful.
Thank you for visiting my website, and I hope you choose me as your tutor.
