Peter C., Accounting Tutor
- $35 / h
- Vancouver , Washington ( 98683 )
- 20 miles
As an accounting tutor, I realize that many of the concepts and techniques are not intuitive. At the same time, I can see the logical flow from one point to another.

Justin
English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing

My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more
