Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is very supportive and inclusive based on establishing a rapport with my students in whom I strive to develop confidence in the subject.
From the feedback I have received from students, parents and lesson observations, I conclude that students tend to find me approachable, supportive, patient and non-judgemental in my approach.
