Tutoring Approach

I believe that learning should be both stimulating and accessible. My pedagogical approach focuses on chunking content and using reinforcement strategies to boost student engagement and motivation.

I implement regular formative assessments and assign homework to facilitate progress monitoring and sustained motivation. I firmly believe that a robust educational foundation opens diverse opportunities for future advancement.
