    Cynthia Kessel  - Customized tutoring can allow you to build a strong foundation. It doesn't matter if you are taking an intro  course or a more advanced course, or even test prep for the SAT/ACT,  I will take the time to get to know you on a personal level and learn your strengths and weaknesses. One benefit of this method is that I will create custom lesson plans with the tips and tricks that will help you the most. I will support you and point you in the right direction. I will be available to answer questions you may have about the subject you are studying. Additionally, you will find that having a tutor motivates you more, and you will be able to stay focused on tasks much longer. Not to mention, if you get stuck, you can contact me for help and I will help you and guide you through the problem. My individualized preparation and teaching approaches mean that your tutoring experience will be tailored to your unique needs and learning style.
