...ages to increase their understanding in a diverse number of subjects including development mathematics, Algebra, English, and humanities courses including philosophy, history, and religious studies. Elected Walk-In Tutor Council President at the University of Dayton and assigned a managerial role over the Algebra Lab at Sinclair Community College, I have striven to go above and beyond expectations and will continue to do so for every student with whom I am privileged to work.... To increase reading comprehension, the easiest path is to slow down. Instead of forcing the student to keep reading until they get it, I work to find out how much they can comprehend at once. Maybe this is a paragraph of text or just a sentence. Perhaps the student doesn't understand the words that are being used. Whatever the difficulty, I attempt to break the section down to a level that the student can understand. Once we arrive at that base level, we begin slowly working toward developing deeper levels of comprehension. Of course, patience, care, and understanding must always be shown. A student learns best when they are shown that the teacher cares. And I care about all my students.

...particularly ACT, SAT, and PSAT. In test prep sessions, I like to begin with one or more diagnostic tests and then create a plan for the remainder of our time together. It's always my goal to make the best use of your time, so I encourage students to tell me what they'd like to work on. This not only ensures that the lesson is relevant, but also allows the student to take ownership of the...
