Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in St. Charles, MO

I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works. Students like working with me because of my ability to communicate information in a way that they can understand (i.e. I tell the story they want to hear). I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

...expect the most from all of one's students and hold them all to the highest standards, but I also respect all of their different ways of exhibiting excellence. Not all children learn in the same ways, so it is the teacher's responsibility to know their students and provide dynamic, multi-dimensional learning opportunities that allow all of the learners to be successful. I also believe its extremely important to create a comfortable open rapport between the...

The importance of one-on-one experiences is critical for students trying to master difficult content. Equally important is for students to gain the confidence necessary to tackle and conquer challenges in situations where they are required to work independently. It is important that tutors give students the tools to solve these problems without actually completing the work for them.
