John: Edmond STAAR course instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a failure. Working with my own tutors and teachers helped...

I have been a student seeking help for classes before, and I speak from personal experience when I say that nothing feels better than finally understanding a subject with the help of tutor. I believe that each child learns differently and approaches to teaching different children must be molded to fit that specific child. My approach is to find each student's learning style and help them to achieve their goals using that...

When there are gaps in the background knowledge, I help to fill those in.
