Privatized Tutoring, 12-18 yrs
Learning in large classroom settings, faced-paced courses, or unfamiliar subjects can be daunting. Having a tutor that can answer your questions and teach your student to understand will help your student grow into a life-long learner.
Private tutoring can have positive outcomes on non-cognitive factors such as students' motivation or family conflicts on students' achievements and learning behavior (Ömeroğulları, 2020).
About me: After graduation from James Martin High School in 2017 top 8%, UTArlington 2020 - Biology B.S. Thesis Honors, I pursued a Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) at UT San Antonio.
In 2022, I left dentistry to work for a large corporation in the medical device industry. After three years, I decided to pursue new new career: engineering. I am currently a full-time student at UTArlington.

Parents agree that private instruction helped their child be a more independent student.
My goal as a tutor is to lead students to ask the right questions not necessarily get the right answers.
