"I am in my third year of teaching and I currently teach 6th-8th grade Science and 7th/8th Social Studies. I love all history subjects and enjoy working one-on-one with students to help them gain a better understanding of the material. As a teacher, I understand that all students learn differently and that it sometimes takes an additional explanation to help the "light bulb" go on. I also know that working one-on-one with a student can help them gain confidence in the subject and then in the classroom.."

"Learning has always been a passion of mine, and I strive to impart that passion to my students. I don't train my students to recite facts and figures. Rather, I encourage them to become self-motivated learners by creating a positive experience that is tailored to each individual. My lesson plans are thus very flexible, and designed with the likes and interests of the student in mind."

"As a tutor, I have a calm and steady personality. I've found that this demeanor is great for teaching. By combining it with a sense of humor, my students are able to grasp what's so great about words: they're the backbone of stories.
Whatever is needed, be it micro (grammar or mechanics), macro (essay editing and creative writing), or test prep, I can help students of any age become better readers, writers, and test-takers."
