Student-based learning requires students to synthesize pivotal and necessary ideas.

Students only retain and understand what they organically produce in...

...several different capacities for seven of them. I love working with students on a one-on-one basis, and use a warm, humorous approach to put students at ease and take the pressure off them so that they can learn without feeling stressed. I believe there is a solution to every problem, and there is no right way to learn something. People learn in different ways, it's just a manner of finding what's best for the student.

...Science from the University of Texas at El Paso. I have a wide range of passions, from linguistics to math and physics, but I really come alive when harnessing technology to solve problems.

When I am not tutoring and practicing trumpet, I love to cook, hike, play tennis, and enjoy the amazing New Mexico...

I believe in the power of a good story, and will work with you to hone your ideas into provocative, compelling, clear, and organized essays. We'll work on grammar and spelling — the details count! — and on overall argument structure. I'm an expert in the SAT/ACT five-paragraph format,...

I also have decades of experience sewing and designing clothes and costumes and would be...
