I like to teach a student how to be self-dependent. I also teach study skills and time management before helping with assignments to make sure students learn the -know-how skill-. To succeed in this task student cooperation and following instructions are needed. I have been successful in helping students pass courses in different areas just by teaching them how to study I look forward to working with more students.
I teach students how to look for course material online to make sure they know how to research and learn better when they look for the information on their own with my guidance and supervision.
