By this, students are led on...

...in college. I truly believe that confidence in the subject matter is essential to be a great tutor. However, I am open to be challenged by my students. I focus more on the topics that students need the most help. One of my favorite teaching technique is simply asking students to teach me what they have learned. Teaching is never one sided. As a tutor, I am here to assist in content review and answering...

For each student, these three elements come in different forms, and...

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, from Spanish to test prep, it is literature and writing that I am most passionate about as I feel they provide individuals the opportunity to connect with the world around them and give shape and voice to their experiences and opinions. Outside of education, I pursue whitewater kayaking competitively, and was a member of the US freestyle team this past...

Every student is different- just because the book says there is one way to solve a problem, does not mean it is the only way. I work with students to help them with the process of 'discovery' through questioning and experimentation. Ultimately, if I've done my job correctly, you won't need me at all!... The student needs to celebrate the small victories. It does not matter the size of the progress being made as long as...

I believe that...
