Job Summary

BMYD provides tutoring services to students of all ages in the comfort of their home or in a mutually agreed location. Many students are intimidated in a group setting or embarrassed to ask for help in front of their peers. BMYD tutoring allows for face to face, private sessions where students feel confident and relaxed. In most cases, they quickly become eager and willing learners when the pressure is removed from the situation.

Areas of frustration become areas of success.
