What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My process begins with an assessment of your grades and to have a discussion with you about your learning style and how we can utilize your learning style to maximize learning and reach your goals. Next, I will review your instructors’ syllabus. Then I will individually prepare sessions that will enable you to reach those goals, whether it be improving your grade, gaining a better understanding on specific topics, or performing better on exams.
