Tutor's Methods: 

Our tutoring facilitates coordinated study of the course textbook w/ both a prep book for the exam (SATII or AP) and your class notes. Simultaneously, the tutoring integrates problem-solving and the concept-mastery it requires. The structure of this tutoring/studying enables students to simultaneously enhance, assess, and apply their own understanding. I strongly suggest such an intensive study during the Winter Break. For the rest of the year, your student will continue @ a lower intensity w/ this independent study. As you wish, I will continue to help in this independent study. It is crucial to the student’s learning that the study be independent, however. I would be just a guide and offer hints.

For Physics & Chem tutoring, I’ve found the most effective teaching method, and efficient use of tutoring session time, to be the solving of quantitative problems. This helps students over conceptual hurdles that tripped them up when they attempted to solve problems assigned in their school course, and a student's answers can be clearly assessed by the student as correct or incorrect. Guided independent study via guided problem-solving is thus the core of my tutoring. 

Educational studies, and my own experience as a student (I have 2 Master’s Degrees), have found that students learn best in group study. My tutoring thus simulates group study, but with an advantage: my content expertise & teaching experience enable me to ask students critical concept-revealing questions.  I then subtly guide the students in their answers.
