Christine's Multi-Function Tutoring and Mentoring

Introduction: I can build a bond with any student in a month that would take many people a full year. This is not due to me being so amazing in of myself that people flock to me, but I strongly believe as an educator they do. This is simply due to the fact that my clients know I care. They are not a paycheck to me. Knowledge is too serious for that. My students are literally the future, but they are living in confusingly distracted lives, and I help them find the wonder in just learning that many have lost. My students see how much time I spend getting to know them, so that I can teach them in a way that is suited to their individual interests, talents, and learning styles, all while slowly bringing up the areas where they need work. I believe in consistency, honesty, and fairness, but I think learning also HAS to be made fun. I am also patient enough to listen and adjust my method as many times as it takes for a student to grasp something without getting frustrated. I am genuine in how much I love what I do, so even if someone hates the subject I help them with, they usually end up making gains they assumed were impossible, or not worth the effort, and that leads to a gained confidence and curiosity about what else is possible or interesting. I am happy and satisfied if I feel I've helped someone find the joy and power that comes with knowledge and the ability to connect ideas and disciplines that seem separate.
