Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Helping a student who throughout his life struggled greatly in writing and was able to raise his GPA by 1 point in a semester of hard work and diligence.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do not be afraid to fail or admit to your shortcomings, both are your greatest teacher. Identifying and facing your limits make you more confident and self aware of your strengths and what it takes to achieve goals over time!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Carefully consider what they need to improve and THEN what they wish to improve. Prioritizing and then attacking your goals is the most effective route to success and, typically, you end up achieving both at the end of the day!
