...over the years. I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor.

The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student....

...M.F.A. in Creative Writing. I have been tutoring writing since 2014.

...as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student into a classroom star. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) because such tests cover a finite body of material that can be taught and mastered. In addition to test prep, I also tutor a number of English related...

Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization.

I approach ACT test prep with a similar notion: in order to succeed the student...
