...open the doors to understanding the topic. As a tutor, I strive to get my students to not only learn the knowledge, but truly understand. I have been working in the education field since 2007 and I am familiar with various techniques. My approach to education is very hands-on and inquiry based.... I like to keep things as simple as possible when teaching, and rely on pen, paper, and the "Socratic Method" as much as possible. Computers certainly have their place in the modern learning environment, but my goal as a teacher ultimately is to help students learn how to learn and to get excited about the subject matter, rather than just stuff their heads with lots of (to them, anyway) meaningless and disjointed facts and figures.

As an sewing and crafting enthusiast, I understand that with practice, tenacity, and perseverance comes success, a lesson I apply to my life and to my tutoring.... Before entering into any teaching, I believe it is important to discuss the concerns the student has toward the material as well as their prior exposure to tutoring and study aids. This approach allows me to directly address their needs and insecurities, thus quickly increasing their confidence. This confidence boost encourages the tutoring process and helps associate learning with positive emotions (something everyone needs when working through tough or confusing material).
