Micah BurrisLanguages: English Subjects: Communications, English 1A, 1AS Summer 2024 Schedule: Unavailable Appointment Link: https://appt.link/merritt-college-tutoring/micah-burris-comm-45 I’m Micah Burris, and I bring patience and ambition to each tutoring session, aiming not only to enhance student’s understanding of their assignments but also to boost their comfort and confidence in learning. I start by asking about their likes and dislikes in the subject, which helps me tailor my approach to their unique needs. I believe in devising study and memorization strategies that empower students to continue their learning journey independently, even beyond our sessions. By taking time to understand students learning style, I can apply techniques that genuinely improve comprehension and retention. Collaboration is critical to my method; I often exchange tips and insights with colleagues to ensure I can support my students on any topic. I aim for students to leave each session feeling more knowledgeable and self-assured in their academic pursuits. |
