AIMS AS A TUTOR
- first and foremost, I believe in creating a safe space so that you can grow and learn as a person and as a literature student.
- thus, I believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question. I encourage questions and discussions so please don’t be afraid to ask me anything!
- besides tuition, I offer free consultation services outside of class! Text me a question, ask me to mark an essay, take a look at an essay outline etc — I’ll be happy to help you! Practice makes perfect after all.
- I believe in being patient and understanding with all my tutees. Life is already stressful enough and I will not be the one who makes it worst. Please let me know if anything I do isn’t helping and I’ll be happy to adapt the lesson to your needs!
- I make my own notes and materials and tailor them to what you are learning.
