WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR

I strongly believe that every student can succeed- it’s a combination of finding your learning style, growing confidence and of course, practicing. I think math and science are those subjects where you’re constantly doubting yourself and your abilities- there are times where you feel like you’re drowning in a foreign world full of numbers and equations. With that being said, I’m passionate about helping students develop the tools they need to conquer the world both inside and outside of math class, while also being their own cheerleader.
