Hi! I'm Joseph (professionally known to my students as Mr. Kim). I'm basically the FUN teacher, but also very straightfoward one so I save your time and attention.
You'll always have a few teachers in your high school who do not know how to teach properly. That would definetely kill interest in that subject. Then your marks go down :(
We can prevent that. But, don't wait till you are absolutely "cooked" in your course. At that point, it would be unrealistic to aim for high expectations. Work with me before it happens!
I can be more than just your local tutor. I'm going to be your coach.
I know A LOT about how teachers are going to test/quiz students - in fact, I made too.
I am close in age to my students so I get how they think, what stresses them out, and how to make difficult concepts actually click.
