Tutoring

Individualized tutoring is a one-on-one learning experience where a tutor provides personalized instruction tailored to the specific needs of the student. This method of tutoring allows for a customized approach to learning, as the tutor can identify the student's strengths and weaknesses and create a plan that focuses on the areas that need improvement. The tutor can also adapt the pace and style of teaching to match the student's learning style and preferences, resulting in a more effective and efficient learning experience.

Weekly check-ins through FaceTime and phone calls is an effective method of maintaining regular communication and providing ongoing support to individuals. This approach allows for a personalized touch, as it enables direct interaction between the involved parties. FaceTime provides a visual platform that allows for nonverbal communication, which is essential for building trust and establishing a rapport between the individuals. It also allows for the exchange of visual aids such as documents and images, which can enhance the learning experience. Phone calls, on the other hand, provide a more convenient and accessible means of communication, especially for individuals who are on the go. They also enable real-time feedback and clarification, which can help to address any concerns or questions that the individual may have. Overall, weekly checking through FaceTime and phone calls is a professional and efficient way to stay connected and ensure that the individual is receiving the necessary support and guidance.

Planning & Organizing

I focus on providing students with the tools and strategies they need to manage their time effectively, prioritize their tasks, and achieve their academic goals. I’ll help your child create a daily or weekly homework schedule, which outlines all the tasks that need to be completed and sets specific deadlines for each task.

In addition to these practical strategies, I’ll work with students to develop study skills and techniques for memorization, test-taking, and time-management. I provide guidance on how to break down complex assignments into manageable tasks, and how to stay motivated and focused when working on long-term projects.

Overall, a tutor who specializes in planning and organization of homework, planner outlining, and school work in general can be a valuable resource for any student who wants to improve their academic performance and achieve their full potential.
