I've worked with students from age 7 to 18 professionally, and have informally tutored university students for over three years. I've studied both Engineering and English Literature, so I have a strong background in a variety of subjects (including English/reading/writing, chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics) and have helped students with everything from basic arithmetic to complex essays and calculus. I work best one-on-one, when I'm able to give students my undivided attention, but I can also handle small groups. I focus on making sure students understand the "why" of their assignments, so the help I give builds their problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. It's about finding the right answer, but also about building the process for getting that answer. It's about writing a strong paper, but also about learning what makes it a strong paper.
