I believe in structured learning and will break the whole concept down for you to understand better. Focusing on a sound foundation, I work on giving my students the skill so they become independent learners. All my lessons are learning-objective based.
I have been an after school tutor for past 14 years. An array of my students included schoolers and undergraduates, coming over for academic help in Math and English. I have taught a variety of curricula like IB,IGCSE(UK), ICSE, CBSE and Common Core (US), apart from the English proficiency exams like IELTS.
