I have had a broad educational background in Economics, Finance, Management, Technology and Education.... Sometimes students do...

...of the student's current understanding of the material. In the early part of my career, I often incorrectly assumed the student's complete understanding of the material. To eliminate these incorrect assumptions and better facilitate the student's advancement towards independence, I employ a fusion of direct subject teaching and a Socratic style of questioning.

This means that each goal is catered to the needs of the student in a specific, measurable, achievable, rewarding...

It is here that students have ample opportunities to work hard, express themselves, share their work and celebrate their successes, both big and small.

It is my great desire to help students not only...
