Does your child or teenager struggle with their homework or in school? Is your child having trouble with a specific subject? Is it hard for him or her to keep up with homework? Would you like to help him or her with their struggles? You want to help, however you are preoccupied with work or chores. No problem, I can help your child with their most difficult subjects.
 
Most students may seem highly academic, but with a little extra help can help them reach a full learning potential in any subject. As a young student, motivation sometimes lack and the subject just becomes another regular boring school activity. The idea is to make the difficult subject into a creative, understanding, and easy to follow activity.
 
My tutoring services involves six subjects: elementary math, algebra, geometry, science, english, and reading. Tutoring is only provided to children and teenagers in Elementary school and Middle/Junior high school. We will first discuss your child's needs and your concerns. Then I will provide the necessary steps to help achieve your child's goal. Furthermore, work activities and exercises will be supplemented to teach and strengthen their learning abilities.

Tutoring Strategies

-Always listen to the learner. Tutor will always listen to discover the learner's strength and challenges in learning.

-Rules are important to maintain, and are mutally agreed upon with the learner. For example, meeting at a certain time; always be prepared; and doing the assignments given by the tutor.

-Tutors are not recommended to diagnose learning disabilities. It is prefer or recommended to a professional academic counselor.

-Overall, tutoring will be evaluated with the parents after every session.
