So, over the last three years of teaching English Reading and Writing, preparing high-school students for PSAT, SAT & ACT, I've developed a special set of helpful suggestions about how to master these skills well. I enjoy teaching. I retired very early to help my son, and to enjoy the time traveling; but, in less...

I enjoy...

Getting to know the student's learning style is usually the first priority then it is whatever the student needs from there. For test prep, I go for a textbook and follow it, tailoring the material to my own supplemental materials that I turn into...

...for elementary school children, helping them complete their homework and reading assignments. I've also been tutoring my own 8 nieces and nephews from ages 5 to 16 for many years! My time with Varsity Tutors has been a life-changing experience. I've learned just as much from my students as I believe I've taught them. They are smart, kind, funny, wonderful kids, and they've showed me how everyone needs their own personalized approach to learning. In...

I believe in working with each student individually and not stopping until the student understands. I believe that the best way to learn is to break down each topic to its core concepts so that the student understands each concept. Every question has a pattern that uses the same core concepts over and over again. If I am able to teach these core concepts once, the student will be able to do any sort of...

I worked in nonprofit education reform and served in an instructional leadership role for a prestigious and rigid alternative certification program. I had the opportunity...

I have a strong...
