As a tutor, I focus on making sure students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I usually start by asking what they’re having trouble with, and then break things down step by step to help them understand. Whether it’s reviewing for a test or working through homework, I guide them through the process without simply giving them the answers.

I also help them develop better study habits and time management skills, so they can do well on their own in the future. Most importantly, I aim to build their confidence, showing them that, with the right approach, they can overcome any challenges they face.
