...learner for the future beyond. A typical first time tutoring session would begin with me assessing where you are as a student in the topic at hand, asking you what you want out of our sessions (and me suiting your need to that desire as much as possible), and beginning a lesson plan.

In all subject matter, my goal is to build an understanding that is intuitive by progressing with purpose and...
