Private Tutoring
How does it work? A brief introduction to private tutoring.
Each student has a different need when it comes to private tutoring. I work with students that only ask to meet before tests to review what they self-identified as their weaknesses. I work with students who meet weekly to review (or in some cases preview) the content they are learning in class. I also work with students who meet multiple times per week, as a replacement for class, because they are unable to attend.
Typically students provide samples of class work, problems they would like help solving, or a list of concepts they are struggling with. I then explain the concept and how it connects to other topics in the course, provide additional examples, remind students of potential pitfalls, and provide strategies for avoiding common mistakes as necessary. Unlike a typical class with other students, during private tutoring sessions we can speed up or slow down the pace of a session on the fly and pivot quickly if a student feels like the missing connections have been made.

Online Sessions
I am currently only tutoring online using services like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. This allows me added flexibility to meet with all students. All illustrations, problems, an notes are written using Microsoft OneNote (free software) and can be shared with student for viewing after the session. Students are asked to send digital files or scans prior to the session to make more efficient use of time.
