...acing tests and achieving academic success to understanding why a song's lyrics are catchy (or not). Good writing often appears so natural that it creates an illusion of flowing seamlessly from the author. When we can't replicate that painless process, we often believe we're just not talented enough. This is an odd tendency: no one would expect a mathematician to be able to solve complex equations without training, practice, and inevitable mistakes. Literature is one...

I love learning and I truly believe that knowledge is power. I have been tutoring since I was in high school and I have 2 children who I work with nearly every day. Everybody is different and learns in different ways but that is what makes each one of us so special. As a tutor, I try to unlock which methods works for those I tutor and teach them how to build upon those strengths.

My mission is to inspire life long learning as well as to give you the tools to discover your capacity for academic success and happiness. ... To help a student get engaged again in a subject they're probably loathing, I would ask them questions about what they like. Life is vastly interconnected; therefore, I would draw the line between the student's personal interests and the material at hand. If they can be wowed about how the world works, then it inspires one to dive in head first to the content.
