Some tutors are current or graduated students and some are professional educators. Our tutors are all friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. - WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM TUTORING?
Come prepared with all necessary course materials, including textbooks, assignment details, and class notes – so your tutor is familiar with the required content.
