Dr. Stepan's Exam Style

Dr. Stepan is known for not curving exams - an unforgiving system that punishes students for every little calculation mistake. My 1-on-1 tutoring will train you to spot those slippery slopes and the confidence to recognize a wrong answer before it's too late!
The concepts that appear on her exams are difficult. Early mastery is essential as curveball exam problems tend to combine chapters. Not understanding one topic leads to a chain reaction of lost points.
Dr. Stepan's exams are concept multiple-choice and calculation multiple-choice. The 70% of questions are NOT straightforward.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Stepan sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.
