Tutoring Approach

• Discussing and establishing what you need to learn straight away. I want you to succeed.
• Making the topics and concepts we're discussing practically relevant to you by way of everyday examples.
• Using diagrams and works of art to convey class content in a more direct and accessible way.
• Welcoming questions at any time.
• Encouraging you to develop and share your own lines of thinking.
