...is life and applies to everyone everyday. My method of instruction one I have honed since first being certified for Advanced College Level Tutoring in 97'.

Therefore my sessions are customized to each students individual interests, so rest assured you will have...

...History. Since then, I've worked in the non-profit sector as a teacher for children and adults for the last three years. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching History, Writing, and Literature.

Once I started college, I got a job tutoring students primarily in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.

...well as review. I believe that the best way for students to learn, and it has helped me as well, is to constantly practice questions in whatever subject they may be studying. This is especially true for science and math subjects. Cramming simply does not work in getting the material to stick with the student. The point of learning is to allow the recollection of material over a medium to long period of time. Cramming...

...equation being chewed. It's more than a question. I teach with a desire to implement a realization of that depth of origin within the work at hand and within the student themselves. To me, the most important aspect of teaching is for the student to realize what it is they are not only good at, but enjoy. It's within that joy, that a passion is ignited that fuels a student on their way to success....

...have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high schools and colleges. It is not uncommon for my students to see significant increases in math, reading, and writing sections of these tests. I always find that the best tutoring results come from keeping sessions as fun and engaging as possible while still covering the material. When not tutoring, I teach performance classes in subjects like magic, comedy, and balloon sculpting. When not teaching,...

...for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew about or never believed to be as intertwined. For example: is it simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same time for early cultures? Or that early arithmetical and geometrical proofs were found to...
