...study skills (including designing a very successful study skills program), ACT test prep and leadership. Typically, students that I work with show immediate gains in their subject area. Students I work with will work hard--but we will also have a good time and laugh a lot as we work to meet your goals. When I'm not tutoring, you can usually find me exploring the Cities on my bike, playing sports or experimenting in the kitchen.
