  Math Tutor

  I tutored an aviation mechanic to write his practical mathematics certification exam for 2 weeks through a tutoring company. As he only had 2 weeks of tutoring (out of a necessary 2 months needed to study) he unfortunately failed the exam but did still achieve a grade of 62% (the pass requirement was 75%). He is still planning on retaking the exam and will have me tutor him for a longer period this time around.
