Will generally take iit slow with students trying to help them work through problems on their own and help to find unique and novel ways of approaching problems. Always try to provide useful input without explicitly handholding them through problems. I have found that getting students to try and "Teach" me what they know about a given subject (through a sort of semi-role reversal" helps highlight gaps in knowledge where tutoring is needed, as well as help strengthen their current knowledge by trying to condense what they know in to simple to understand explanations
Full Availability throughout the summer months (May to August), Fall and Winter availability as determined by university course, but generally free on weekends and throughout the evenings on weekdays
Online teaching via Skype/Zoom/Discord are the most convenient, but I am willing to travel to a students desired placce of leearning provided it is within 50 or so kilometers of my own house.
