My Philosophy of Tutoring
I believe learning should be fun but I also realize that it demands an appropriate level of challenge. Real learning is also a personal journey that varies in length, time, and configuration. From the beginning, I aim to connect with a student’s interests and strengths to build confidence and trust. With trust, an authentic learning environment is created and a student can be honest with oneself and set realistic learning goals. This is also the foundation for becoming a good reader and writer. It takes courage to make mistakes in the process of learning anything new, and when both honesty and courage are present, we can accelerate learning and explore a variety of texts and problems in greater depth. The ultimate goal is for the student to become an independent life-long learner, with confidence in their abilities to handle any life situation gracefully and creatively.
