Each of my sessions as a private teacher include an assessment, educational and engaging activities, and a homework review. I assess each student’s specific needs in order to come up with customized lessons, such as learning new study skills, boosting confidence, or working on test-taking skills. After the first assessment session, I work with each student to come up with a strategic learning plan. I don’t believe in dependency — my goal is for each student to acquire enough skills to become an independent learner.
