Tutor is not about teaching a student how to do a problem. It's my job to help you to fully understand the materials so you can work on different scenario. I was a private tutor for many students (college, high school) in Math and Chemistry in Fall and Spring 2016.
I have different techniques and methods depending on your way of study. Forcing students to memorize things is not my way of teaching.
