I believe education should be a personal, empowering experience that changes people for the better. In all my teaching and tutoring, I seek to help students make personal connections to globally-relevant material, find creative ways to present information and engage students' interest, and offer students a healthy balance of challenge and support.

"In addition, I have taught computer literacy, photography, and have done corporate training in various technical fields. My teaching style is a system of scaffolding. I ensure that the student has a solid knowledge base and we build from there with a specific goal in mind, whether it is to prepare for a standardized test or an academic one, or simply to get a better handle on a topic. One area in which I excel is crafting customized solutions for individual students. Each student is different and has his or her own unique needs and strengths.

" My preparation for this doctoral has been a bit circuitous, so my background as a tutor is broader than might be supposed by my esoteric academic interests.
