" Using your own thoughts as a starting point, we will go through a series of diagnostic questions to quantify your proficiency in the course. With these two data points, we can begin to construct a personalized instruction schedule which will be tailored to satisfy your own goals, and to focus on problem areas revealed from the diagnostic questions. I have applied this own methodology to my testing for years, and have had great success. I truly believe that we can work together to achieve that same success for you!."

" When I tutor, I feel that I am able to empathize with my student’s frustrations and this establishes a bond of trust. From there, I am able to motivate my students to do their homework with a new positive attitude. Of course discipline is also of the utmost importance, as I sometimes have to become a taskmaster and gently prod my students to stay focused and explore their work from a vantage point of curiosity rather than boredom, which I have found to be the best strategy to get them interested in their work.."

"When I'm not tutoring or working on my dissertation, I do some freelance writing. It's a cliche to say that my writing informs my teaching while my teaching improves my writing, but it's also true: the constant effort to improve my own work helps me to understand what my students are going through, while my work as a teacher and tutor gives me a fresh perspective on my writing. I always stress that writing is rewriting. One of my happiest moments as a teacher was when one of my students won the UC Berkeley English Department's annual Essay Prize last spring with a paper I helped her to revise." ...
