My washington-dc">tutoring approach focuses on three basic areas: consistency, patience and integration of subject in meaningful ways. I tend to believe the most effective approach to teaching is holistic, meaning that I attempt to take into account the students strengths, learning style, interests and areas for improvement. I also attempt to enhance basic areas of study, which include organization skills and consistency. Session planning is extremely important, as it will provide a guided framework within which the washington-dc">tutor and student can work. The time spent together should be meaningful and effective. Additionally, I believe that creating a positive rapport with the student assist with engaging and motivating toward success. Positive reinforcement is helpful with regards to creating academic goals.
