Establish Principles
Each student comes into their first class with a different level of base knowledge. We start by identifying that baseline, so we can fill in content gaps before moving on to the more essential part of tutoring: problem solving methods.
Build Understanding
We help students break down challenging problems by identifying key processes and asking the right questions.
The goal: break down challenging problems into clear, manageable steps, building problem-solving confidence.
Master, don't Memorize
Equipped with this approach, students tackle new problems without an over-reliance on prior memorization. They handle harder questions, unfamiliar wording, and exam pressure with more ease.
My Approach
My Motto
You have the answers. Find the right questions.
In my experience as a tutor, I have found that most of the time, questions are more helpful in building students' understanding than direct answers are. I use the Socratic method to engage students with targeted questions, identifying students' weaknesses and guiding them through problem-solving. My goal is not to simply provide answers, but to develop students' reasoning skills.
