I have experience teaching reading and literature, essay, creative and persuasive writing as well as public...

...to tutor are Math, Physics, History, and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make students comfortable with the material and confident in their abilities.

I ask a lot of questions to encourage you to think through whatever it is you are trying to master. I love...

...as a tutor is not to teach someone how to solve a problem or pass a test, but to teach the essential knowledge needed to succeed in a course beyond the raw grade.

I hope to get students to a point where they are self-sustaining.

Regardless of subject, I strive to ensure that my students build the strategies and confidence they need to be...

...behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test day! My method involves students in developing their own ways of learning and exploring what makes sense to them. We all come from different backgrounds and connect with material in different ways. Together we can develop this as a strength so that you have your own set of tools that you can apply to any problem. This, ultimately, is the test...

...these skills. Most importantly, I love learning and have come realize that it is my vocation to share and impart that love of learning in others.

It is my mission to always create this environment with my students and those...

I enjoy teaching British and American literature, especially poetry, but my great love is history and the teaching of writing....
