Hi. I believe in the "organic" method of tutoring. That means I start out LEARNING FROM YOU THE STUDENT, about what you already know, how you talk about it, and what type of learning process works for you. From there, I create an approach to expressing MY understandings by starting with what you know and speak and expanding on that. Now, there are times when this doesn't work so well, and I need to introduce you to something that is quite unfamiliar at first glance. But even then, I seek comm... Read more
