Designing Tutoring for You!
It is helpful for me to learn about you by:
– Discussing your learning preferences and objectives
– Examining graded worksheets or tests
– If feasible, working with you on a couple of problems
– I can talk with a teacher if you believe that would be helpful
We can discuss observations, recommendations, objectives, communications preferences, etc. to develop an initial tutoring strategy.
There is no cost until tutoring begins. If you are not satisfied after the first tutoring session, I will provide a full refund.
