James
Certified Tutor
I love helping people and enjoy assisting those in learning. I really enjoy passing on my knowledge and watching the look on someones face as they understand something they didn't before.... My teaching philosophy is to compare the topic at hand to something that is interesting to the student. If you can make it more fun or interesting to them, it will be easier to understand. They might even enjoy it!
