When this occurs, student "engagement" is no longer a problem,...

I've been teaching math and science for 25 years and just love it. One of the best things about the job is seeing and hearing when a student truly understands a math concept. They always look so happy that they figured it out! I also really enjoy thinking of the best question I can ask in order to make the student think more. It's tons of fun!...

This approach helps break down any preconceived notions about the difficulty of a new concept. It also helps build self-esteem in the learner.

I love reading and would love to share that passion with you. I hope that my time as your tutor would be fun and extremely helpful for your learning. I also test well and can help you learn about standardized tests and how to succeed on test day.
