My approach first involves putting you, the student, at ease with my relaxed and open manner. Then I address what you particularly require in the way of assistance. Once we have established our goals we can address them in manageable parts in order to achieve success, whether in improving your grades, assisting you to write a stronger paper or helping you ace an exam.
Background
