...in Paris, I not only traveled throughout Europe, but had the exhilarating opportunity to tutor a French student in English. After a couple of weeks, she had become more than just my student – she was a special person in my life.

...a lifelong process; I value teaching the skills that will enable you to think and grow on your own. It is more important that you learn how to think and learn than just master the subject or content required for an exam or an essay. My goal is to help people become aware of their strengths and abilities by showing them how to discover their ability to think and push themselves to succeed. I have...

...learning process. It's cliche, but I do believe there are no questions that should not be asked, and that the unexamined life is not worth living.

Aiding my students in their quest for knowledge and celebrating their success is the greatest reward...

...One of the things I enjoy most about tutoring students in Latin and Italian is helping them build a stronger foundation in their native English language as well as in the foreign language. Over the course of my years as a tutor, I have seen my students expand their vocabulary and rhetorical skills in English through their study of foreign and classical language. I firmly believe that by grasping the roots of language, students will...
