I am dedicated to providing individualized education for all types of learners.

Not all students learn the same way. I utilize a variety of instruction methods to individualize learning. With the right teaching style, every student can succeed.... I like to spend the first session getting to know the student and their individual learning style. Do you learn best by reading? By listening? By doing? Maybe you're not sure; that's okay, too. I'll work with you to figure it out. I also take this time to define the specific goals of the tutoring sessions. Am I here to help with a big test coming up? Is there a specific concept you're struggling with? Do you need help with your study skills? Or are you looking to improve your overall understanding of a subject? This allows me to individually tailor my instruction to the needs of the student and foster a successful exchange.

...the opportunity to guide students through the course and supplement their knowledge. This ignited my initial passion for teaching. I believe teaching should be "hands on" by involving the student through questions and promoting participation. One-on-one teaching especially should be less lecturing from the tutor and more input from the student. By using examples to clarify and solidify points, concepts can be fully understood and applied to other situations when the tutor is not present....

Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.... I believe in teaching that is catered towards the individual. Tutoring on a one-to-one level allows the teacher to incorporate strategies that are best suited to the student's learning style.

...I feel this is an opportunity for students to engage in learning directly in a fully individualized experience.
