Tutor Information

About

I have tutored students ranging in age from eight to 70 in subjects including English, Calculus and Philosophy. Rather than imposing a preset curriculum on you, as a school might, I find out, by conversing with you, what is confusing you, and then patiently explain what you need to understand -- as many times as may be necessary.
