When I was struggling in my Pre-Calculus course, I realized that I needed a tutor with whom I could be comfortable, but also one who could explain things in a structured way that I could understand. In addition, I had a very busy and hectic schedule. As a result, I needed someone who could be flexible with meeting times. I knew that all these requirements would be essential to my success. Believe it or not, not every “certified tutor” can explain things in a way that students with a very weak understanding can understand, regardless of their qualifications. My tutor, on the other hand, swooped all the way down to my level and helped construct a strong base so that I could build on top of that while becoming more confident along the way. There wasn’t any wasted time in the meetings because of how well he could explain it the first time and how careful he was to avoid errors in computations. I ended up making an A and I was at the point where I could teach my peers the concepts I learned from my sessions. I can say with certainty that I gained full understanding of every topic covered in my sessions with my tutor and I have continued to be successful in my undergraduate career largely because of him.
