...learn. No two people are the same. No two people learn the same way. My mission is to help my students discover how they learn best. Then, we can use that information to develop a strategy to conquer any material. Along the way, I reinforce my students' efforts with my own experience as a professional student and life-long learner. With a little help, there is no reason that a motivated student cannot learn and succeed.

When I'm not working with my hands, I love to write. I am currently working...

...very necessary for me as a teacher. Since moving back to the USA I have worked informally with many non-English speakers, giving me experience with creative ways to exchange language.

My teaching style is very adaptable to the student I am teaching, while still keeping structure. Everyone learns another language for...

As a writer and theater director, I believe so much of learning is telling stories: finding patterns, understanding trends, re-telling and repetition of concepts. Writing, grammar, and reading comprehension is my strong suit, and I love helping students to see the stories I see.
