TUTORING PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH:
I focus on understanding of the concepts and developing the student's ability to solve problems -- rather than tedious drill and temporary memorization.

EXCELLENCE:
1. I get results! (Demonstrated improvement: passing courses, raising grades, better test scores, etc.)
2. Knack for establishing good rapport with each student.
3. Focus on understanding concepts and developing skills and strategies to solve problems.
4. Also, my ability to make things understandable, in writing and in discussion.
