Margaret
Certified Tutor
I will patiently and persistently guide you or your student to understand the mechanics of the subject and identify which key elements are lacking in their understanding. I easily identify the learning style unique to each student and can teach to suit his or her needs. I am able to tell quickly how a particular student thinks and best learns, and from there I can either make the lessons more game-like or memory based. In every case, I approach the subject or concerning area from the most basic root and build from there. I have been working with children since middle school which made me a very patient tutor in college. Aside from helping my classmates, I formally worked as an English tutor through the Universidad Complutense, the Spanish University at which my study abroad program resided.

What is your teaching philosophy?
Any student can learn any subject. Its all about how they absorb information and how the material is presented to them.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I'd like to begin with past tests and homework (if there are any) to find the problem areas a student has. In the case of students new to a subject, I will give them a basic overview of the material we should cover in the future and the present lesson before beginning to teach the basic tenants of the subject.
