I have been teaching high school students for over a decade. I taught in rural Kentucky and currently teach in New York city, so my experience is varied and widespread.
My tutoring experience includes working with students one on one in an academic setting, but additionally have tutored athletes while on a college team. I have continued this tradition by working with my players ( I coach girls basketball) and tutor them in multiple subjects.
I try to connect with the student first, understanding their position and what they are struggling with. I want to know them as a person first, before I try to become the "problem solver." I think that is key to working well together is not forgetting that we are both human beings.
I am 38 years old and I like to think I still understand what it is like to be young =-0)
