My goal is to get students excited about what they're learning and constantly remind them of the "why":...

...No one is good at everything, and sometimes all it takes is an outside push, or someone to explain the issue a different way. Tutoring can provide that missing element -- whether it's a sudden "I get it!" moment or a more gradual path to understanding.
