I believe that everyone learns differently and I will guide you through your path of figuring out how you can make the most out of your education.

...even whole course. That's only goal one. I aim for a tutoring environment which generates discussion, and proposes solutions, in which students think critically about the content at hand, ask their own questions, and exercise ways to find their own answers. Learning in this manner allows students to better face future challenges, and think critically about topics in and out of academia. I look forward to working with you and helping you better yourself, whether...

I work with students and parents to tailor lessons to make sure they're learning in their own best pace and style.

...do not altogether leave the "old" house when we move into the "new." I increasingly understood teaching to be less about the introduction of new knowledge, then creative ways of re-appropriating what we already know. In short, I became a fan of recycling, finding out what my students knew (always a surprising amount), what worked for them, and then coming up with improved ways of merging those effective strategies (at writing an essay with a...

...intimidating, until you break it down into a list of bullet points and ideas. Patience is a virtue and I exercise it dutifully. I'm comfortable tutoring all ages; a bit of empathy can span even decades, I believe. In my free time, I love surrounding myself with books and scraps of paper with inky pens, but when I do escape from between the pages I swim and play volleyball. I'm also fluent in Russian.... I like...

...Degree in Special Education. Since teaching for over 19 years, I've learned that there are many styles of learning and that earning can be a lot of fun. There are many techniques and strategies that I have enjoyed sharing with my students to give them confidence in reading, writing, public speaking, and more. Some of my personal interests are movies, music, traveling, my family, my dog (Benji), working out, sports (especially basketball) and shopping.

...vocabulary. I needed extra support before and after school. As a native Spanish speaker, it took me a while to fully feel comfortable with the English language. The more books I read, the more comfortable I became with phonics, spelling, writing, and composition, and the more I fell in love with words. I love tutoring all subjects related to words, including English, phonics, spelling, and essay writing. I want to empower students to use words...

Ultimately, I believe that the ability to excel in educational pursuits rests largely on mental strategy, organization, and skill, all techniques that are very teachable. While absorbing content is important, the way we look at the question being asked and the way we...

...academically competitive. My empathetic yet candid approach helps me form effective relationships with a full range of learners. Measurable achievement is realized by numerous acceptances to selective colleges and universities. Additionally, I effectively equip individuals who are challenged by ADHD, ADD, anxiety, and Autism Spectrum Disorders, addressing barriers resulting in higher educational accomplishments.
