Tutoring Approach:
After working with such a dynamic range of individuals, I recognize that there is no one correct approach to tutoring. My tutoring style will change to meet the distinct needs of individuals, and my lesson plans (if applicable) will serve to reflect that. For example, if someone has trouble sitting still and keeping focus, I incorporate a hands-on/kinetic activity, such as role-playing or turning the content into a game. I also always aim to incorpora**Contact Detail Removed**ading evidence-based strategies that have been scientifically shown to facilitate better learning outcomes based on the science of learning. Some examples of this include connecting content to real-world scenarios and events relevant to the individual, using testing as a strategy, and having students teach concepts back to me. Reach out to me and let's talk about how I can help you thrive and succeed!

Eliana's Feedback

I wish to inform you that I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Eliana. Before our first meeting, and after exchanging over a dozen emails on my tutoring needs, I received the following email from Eliana.
"Hi Renato,
I'm actually very sorry but looking at my other commitments for the months of May and June, I don't think that tutoring to the extent that you require is feasible for me. I am more than happy to tutor once a week for a two hour session or tutor more in the summer.
So sorry and all the best,
Eliana"
As you will see from the email messages exchanged on your site, I clearly communicated my torturing needs to Eliana and she indicated in her email she could meet those needs. Yet, hours before our first meeting, she reneged. At this point, I'm frustrated and disappointed with Eliana and my experience with your site.
