I use a lot of questioning in my tutoring, tutor Maria says. I try to ascertain what a student understands about a topic, and then I try to give them the tools that they need to build on that topic. A math teacher of twelve years, Maria holds a BS in business management from Indiana Wesleyan University and her MEd in education technology from Notre Dame College of Ohio, where she also completed a teaching licensure program.
