I love learning, and through my own studies have learned a great deal about effective study strategies, the psychology of learning, and how to overcome obstacles that are both pre-existing and, perhaps more importantly, that we create for ourselves. An important part of my approach to working with students is first identifying whether the student's main challenge is...

Feelings of confidence motivate kids and stretch into other parts of life—problems become challenges to tackle, rather than disappointments...

As for technique, I model, and monitor student work, and explain to correct mistakes. Students learn the most by working with...
