My tutoring sessions focus on a communicative approach to help the student achieve the acquisition of the information properly, using different methods and strategies to make the students feel like learning is fun. Aside from that, I help students of all ages to complete their assignments, homewor and preparation for tests and I give constant feedback to the students and to the parents about the things that have improved and the things that could improve in the future, so the sessions can be as effective for the student as possible.
