...that temporarily prevent attendance at a regular school. I have worked as a tutor at various times throughout my teaching career. For several years, I worked evenings and Saturday mornings at a Sylvan Learning Center. Later, I tutored individual students through an organization called ClubZ!

The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.

I am a musician who loves to teach and learn. The process of learning and engaging in subjects helps us develop our sense of self and place in the world. Success is as much in the process as in the outcome.

I have a Ph.D. in Theatre from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a masters degree in Educational Theatre from New York University, and is an honors graduate of Lewis and Clark Colleges theatre department in Portland, Oregon. In addition to my background in theatre, I regularly work with students to improve their writing and research skills.... I subscribe to a dialectical approach to education that relies on a myriad of voices and different perspectives in the classroom, and I believe that learning and teaching function best in a collaborative environment that values mutual discovery and collective reflection. As an educator, I structure all my interactions with students--be they in the classroom, in one-on-one advising sessions, or in the rehearsal hall--around the premise that I have as much to learn from them as they from me. In his work, Paulo Freire espouses the idea of the 'unfinishedness' of the individual learner; the constant state of revision that takes place as people continue to develop their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Like Freire, I see education as a partnership between teacher and student; an equal partnership where both parties continually learn, adapt, and influence each other. Education, therefore, becomes a process and not a goal; it is something that is never completed; a lifelong evolution of the mind. As an educator, I respect that process, and I hope to create an environment where students are able to revise and continually form their understanding of the world.

We are all so different but...

...have experience tutoring numerous elementary, middle and high school students in an in-home setting. I have a proven ability to teach needed skills in a clear and effective way. My ultimate goal is for my students to achieve their goals and become more confident in their abilities. If I can play even a small role in a student's success, it is highly gratifying. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you.... My philosophy is to help students gain the confidence they need to make the subject matter less difficult for them. Overcoming the fear of the subject itself goes a long way to helping students succeed. I have learned that demonstrating more than one way of solving a problem can help students better understand the underlying concepts. That understanding will help build their confidence and make them stronger students.

...for me, and I cannot recommend enough the wonderful experience of travelling abroad. I am now pursuing graduate school with the goal of becoming a high school French teacher.

I want to make the process of learning easier, and thus reduce the dread and anxiety it...

...number one goal in tutoring is understanding and not correct answers. When students miss questions, I explain step-by-step the concept(s) behind the question before explaining the steps to answering the question itself. Even for questions that my students answered correctly, I ask students to explain to me why their chosen answer choices are correct - and often they are unable to do so, which provides the opportunity to expand understanding. At the end of every...
