In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do). Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular LSAT question might be, but rather why it is so. I don't simply warn you...

That's quite...

...natural talents and learning styles to get through any challenges the material presents. English is my main tutoring subject. I enjoy it because literature and language can be confusing, but with the right guide, they can be fun!

...on the pre-medical track. Growing up, I had difficulty in school understanding concepts in science, which originally dissuaded me from pursuing career in science. However, when I eventually found the right tutors, everything began to make sense to me and I realized how much I enjoyed learning when I could understand the material. It was empowering and I felt proud and confident in myself when the concepts started clicking. Because of my experiences, I decided...
