Tutoring Approach

I am a passionate and patient teacher who can balance fun learning with focused and accurate work. I believe that it is important to work at whatever pace is necessary with a tutee who may not be as confident in a particular subject or area of study. It is also vital to make the study of a specific subject as enjoyable as possible for a tutee so that one can bring out the best in their work. My work ethic has always been very strong and I believe that focused work, little and often, on the specific issues that need particular attention, is always the most effective approach to academic study.
