...first year students as well as AP students. I believe that learning is an idiosyncratic process, and I believe every person has the right to an education that complements their individual needs. As such, I try to see my students as a whole picture, so I can cater to their strengths while helping them where they might struggle. With new students, I assess their initial basic knowledge so that together we can map where each...

...good grades (although I have both!). I want to help if you are confused, lost, or overwhelmed with all the information you have to know. When I teach, I like to be clear and organized, so I can effectively guide you through the complex concepts rather than let all the information boggle you down. I like lists because long paragraphs just become a messy pile of words. Snowboarding, photography, scuba diving, and hiking are all...

...how important it is for students to not just understand how to find correct answers but to understand the "why" behind those answers. I tutor all middle and high school subjects, but I've especially had fun in helping students understand why math works in geometry by using fun visual activities.

I'm a former high school science teacher with a degree in biology teaching from Central Washington University.
