Commitment / Other Details
My principle of teaching is that Understanding comes first. Memory comes second. I also encourage the student to attempt to imagine him/herself as a tutor and "re-teach" the concept to me and I'll be the one asking question. Studies have shown that the best way to memorize and understand something is to be able to educate on such thing

Apart from tuition time there will also be some homework and occasional quizzes and questions via phone SMS

Can teach and weekends anytime (except for sunday from 12 to 3pm)

Willing to sit back for free extra hours until students understand everything
