My style of communication is open and I like for my students to be involved in his/her tutoring experience as I do not decide before the session everything that I want to cover. I do not judge and do not literally look over a shoulder as my students are working.
Mistakes happen. A goal of tutoring is also to help my student learn how to help themselves. The best part of tutoring is hearing about better grades and the confidence that the student has along with his or her success.
Since 2003 I have been a TASK (Teachers Aiding Student Knowledge) tutor specializing in general math, organization, vocabulary, and test prep. For several of these years I have held a full time job (Thompson Oncology), as well. After proving success with my students, several parents have convinced me to tutor full time. To date I tutor privately at the West End branch of the public library and at Sacred Heart Catherdral School. Tutoring is a truly rewarding career and I know that I have made the right decision to tutor full time.
