Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

I have 7 years experience with Algebra 1 students, both common core and earlier methods. Knowing that many students lack the tools to be able to identify what approach or formula to use, I focus on making sure student understands concepts AND how they relate to different problems, helping them know how to approach new problems.

The absolute best tutor on Wyzant

Julie is the greatest tutor and essay assisting I ever had. In my writing, I tended to have a long sentence and essay. She guided me through valuable techniques to make my essay concise. Moreover, she is blessed with her way around vocabulary that depicts specifically to your needs. I needed help with the UC application, and her assistance had changed the whole dynamic of the essay. I cannot thank her enough for all her dedication towards teaching and helping students in need.
