I know where the roadblocks are and how to overcome them. I no longer have trouble hearing ever since I...

I listen carefully to students and parents from session to session, find out how an individual best learns (visual, auditory, kinesthetic preference), observe as s(he) does problems to see why mistakes are being made, correct and give follow-up practice, all the while building the student's all-important self-confidence. Motivation builds from this improving confidence; students meet challenges I give them and want more. For younger minds I build more interest in math by playing...

In English, I have a firm foundation in the technical aspects of essay writing, vocabulary, and grammar, and as a voracious reader and writer myself, I understand the more intricate skills of style, tone, and voice. In Spanish, I have moved far beyond the basics of grammar and sentence structure to using the language in order to communicate and discuss complex ideas and theories in an academic setting. When it comes to my...
