About the lesson

I myself am a Student, so I understand how delicate time and patience can be. I will try my best to cater to what you need and your time! I am available whenever and however long you need me, within reason (I still want to explore this beautiful world on my own time).
-My teaching methods and techniques are based on you. If you are a visual learner, I can create PowerPoint presentations that help to explain or draw what is needed! If you are a listening learner, I can read off what is needed, and if you are a hands-on learner, I can create quizzes and look up your area to help you go find live samples to example and look at.
-A typical lesson plan from me would be based on you, but generally, I would sit with you for about an hour and 30 mins. The first hour is going through what you need to understand and reviewing what you can, and the last 30 minutes is wrapping up with some quizzes or touching back on the last hour to make sure you walk away understanding what you need to understand.
-What sets me apart from the other Tutors is that I have a very flexible schedule and try my best to be more laid back with my teaching, I will do what I can to help you understand what you need to, and if something ever came up where I didn't know it, I would take time to look into it, learn it so that I can teach it to you or find you someone who can, education and knowledge is extremely important to me so I will do what I can to help you out.
-These lessons are for more class and specifications, but I would be willing to teach and help anyone who needs it.

Perfect! Emerald is awesome! I’ve been working with him to help with my Geology class and he has transferred a ton of knowledge to me. He communicates very well and can gauge the level of conversation to the ability of the student. I highly recommend Emerald to anyone needing help with geology. Top marks achieved by me because top class tutoring from Emerald. 10/10
