"The Humanities are my passion, and I like to share that passion with learners.

I try to incorporate hands-on games and activities into my tutoring whenever appropriate, as I feel it keeps motivation levels high. My lessons are always student-centered and assessment-driven, so that accurate growth can be measured throughout the tutoring process.."
