I am most passionate about circuit analysis, power, and mathematics.When tutoring students I make sure there is clear understanding of the question or topic at hand before moving on. I am a firm believer in continuous education, believing it to be not only satisfying but necessary especially in the engineering and mathematic fields.Since graduation I have taken and passed the FE Electrical and Computer examination, during my time preparing for this examination I have acquired different knowledge, material, and techniques that I would love to share with others as well.

I am an experienced physical therapist with 20 years experience, haven worked in inpatient, hospital, industrial rehabilitation, outpatient and private practice settings. I treated a multitude of different movement dysfunctions, including spinal injuries, traumatic, peripheral and sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and post surgical conditions. I have also 20 years experience as a personal trainer, 15 years of teaching experience and am a newly trained certified professional coach(CPC).My educational journey began with a career in marketing where I thought I was going to own my own Advertising Agency. I graduated in 1992 with a BS in Marketing. After a low back injury, and several months of physical therapy, I became enthralled with physical therapy and decided to make a career change. Studying hard, taking all the necessary science courses, I was accepted into Nova South Eastern University Master of Physical Therapy Program. I did a 4 month clinical rotation through inpatient, outpatient, pediatrics and neurlogic settings and graduated in 1999 with my MPT. Then in 2011, I decided to pursue an advanced master's from the University of South Australia, where I studied with experts Mark Jones, PT, David Butler, PT, Lorimer Moseley, PT and others and graduated in 2012.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Communication and Media Studies. Since graduation, I received my Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate and taught English to South Korean elementary school students for two years. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Writing, and Grammar. I personally love reading and writing, so I find it very rewarding helping others better their skills in these subjects. For my teaching philosophy and tutoring style, my students in Korea could tell you that I find a lot of joy in creating fun and engaging materials. I believe it is really important to meet students where they are and connect learning with things they already enjoy. In my spare time, I read a lot. If there are any books that interest you, I would love to hear about them. I also enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
