Hello, my name is Declan W and I am an undergraduate student enrolled at Virginia Tech. At Virginia Tech, I am working to get my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics which I enjoyed since my days in high school largely due to my time tutoring students during my days in the Math Honors Society. When I did tutor a student, the student would give me their work which was either an assignment, quiz or test that they didn't understand or performed poorly on and we would go over it. First, we identified...

Very hardworking and responsible tutor!
I had been working with Declan for several lessons. One of the impressive qualities that sets him apart is his level of preparation. Before every class, he always asks for the materials we will be covering so that he can study them in advance and plan the lessons thoroughly. This considerate approach ensures that every session is focused and structured. It is clear that he takes his role very seriously and is deeply committed to providing the best possible guidance, which speaks volumes about how hardworking he is. Beyond his preparation, Declan is also very patient and attentive. He never rushes through topics and ensures that everything is grasped before moving on. He always explains everything in great details and provides as much supporting evidence and background information as possible. Even when a concept takes time to fully understand, he remains patient and slow down the pace, making learning less stressful. Another thing I appreciate is his follow-up after class. He always checks in to see if I have any questions or need extra clarification, which shows how invested he is in this job. This attentiveness makes me feel encouraged and ensures that learning continues even outside of our scheduled sessions. In addition to his follow-up each class, Declan goes above and beyond by providing detailed notes after every lesson. These notes are very detailed and organized —they clearly summarize the concepts we covered and highlight what we reviewed. Having these notes to refer back to makes studying more coherent and allows me to revisit any topic at my own pace. His note-taking system also helps me track my progress over time. I can see exactly what we have accomplished in each session and what areas may need further attention. It’s evident that he puts a lot of time and effort into creating these resources, which reflects not only his dedication but also his desire to support his students learning outside of class.
