Experience
Tutor for nine years through University of Michigan-Dearborn along with private tutoring of students from 4th grade through college including people who have come back to school decades later. ACT score of 28, LSAT score of 152 I love tutoring for those moments where you get a student to understand a topic that teachers had so far failed in getting across to them. Most of the time it is not the student being unable to get it, but the way the subject has been taught to them so far. I am around to make sure not only that the student does enough to get through some homework, but also that they have learned the concepts for the future. I think it is important to build a relationship with the tutee so that tutoring sessions feel more open for back and forth communication. I have learned multiple techniques to teach the same topic since not everyone learns the same and also had success working with people from many diverse backgrounds, educations, and ability levels.
