...in French are poetry, literature, and phonetics. I appreciate the power of studying. I worked hard to understand these subjects, and I can help you or your child understand them too.

In my tutoring sessions, I hope to provide an alternative place for students to grow and learn. I know the drawbacks of a high school class room, and I value the one on one atmosphere of tutoring. I focus on differing needs of every student and change my teaching style as I see fit. Tutoring provides a different freedom to education, more liberty than what school provides, yet moving forward with mastering the material. ... The process of learning is more than the right/wrong, pass/fail see-saw. Breaking apart the relationship between being wrong and failing is imperative to the growth mindset. Such a mindset views setback as an opportunity to improve and not a judgment on one's ability. I would like students to see that being "wrong" is just an opportunity to grow, to redirect effort.

As an instructor, I have always tried to emulate the teachers who inspired me to learn and grow.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing fiction, as well as playing and listening to all types...

...getting my BA in English Creative Writing in 2006 from LSU, I went back to school for English Secondary Education. Then I taught English as a second language to young Korean children in South Korea. Back in the US, I worked as a homeschool teacher and tutor. Now, I would love the opportunity to be your tutor. When I'm not tutoring, I'm spending time with my son, teaching or doing yoga, riding my bike, painting,...

...help him when he started taking classes that I had also taken. At first, he struggled. But after a while I figured out that I was a lot more help to him if it was a class that I had also taken. Working with him in unique hands-on exercises related to learning concepts helped cement a lot more information and made learning fun for him. Learning and teaching then became fun for me, and has...
