I have a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to teaching and tutoring, and I am passionate about helping learners improve their skills in English and Math.
I can also take photos, edit books or articles, write poems, and provide advice on how to improve your writing. I have been active writing online for almost twenty years and have a long-ranging variety of techniques to share.
