...enhance the ability of every student that I tutor to succeed and excel in school. The most important job I have, is to patiently aid the student in developing an understanding of the content areas that I tutor, so that I can allow each student the opportunity to learn and transfer that knowledge to other areas of their scholastic life. I embrace diversity and warmly welcome all walks, faiths, personalities, abilities and cultural backgrounds.... My teaching philosophy is very simple. I believe that every student can, and will learn the material necessary to be successful if they are focused, diligent with their studies, motivated to succeed in life, and determined to use all of the resources that they have to grow their knowledge base and academic abilities. I am a facilitator of knowledge. My greatest role is to patiently guide the student to come up with answers to questions on their own. When they cannot answer, my role is to guide them to understanding the answers and coming to a conclusive ability to transfer that knowledge to other similar problems. Getting students to think for themselves, to problem solve, and to come to conclusions themselves encourages self-esteem and allows for them to recognize their ability to succeed. When students learn that they can learn, the sky is the limit for them. Because when they can adapt to a new environment and take on new ideas using their knowledge in school as a background and foundation for excellence, they can achieve their goals with pride, and excellence.

...approach. In my tutoring practice I focus on treating students as unique individuals, determining what is effective for each student, and getting to know each student's particular academic needs and goals. When it comes to SAT prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing strategies and tricks, but I ensure that at the heart of my tutoring is the academic material itself. A...
