I consider myself to be a very patient person, even when it comes to tutoring. I answer any questions you might have to the best of my ability, and I'm willing to spend hours outside of our discussed classes to help with whatever subject-related problems you might have.
I'm very laid back but I will in all honesty do my best to ensure you're on the right track when it comes to your learning. If you have problems with things like rescheduling or payments, we can always talk and if the reasoning finds itself well, we can work something out.
