...I meet. I have a degree in English Literature from University of Virginia. I have a strong background in formal teaching methods (2 years teaching high school English in Texas, 1 year teaching 4th grade reading in Tennessee), but my main strengths lie in my ability to make lasting connections with my students, which only help make their learning more personal and more important.

...like to focus on using various strategies to help students "read with expectations, " meaning that students engage in linear reading (reading left-to-right, without skipping around), and approach texts with a notion of what makes a sentence complete. More generally, as a tutor, I am very patient and flexible, always keeping a student's goals and motivations in mind when planning and teaching lessons.

I am particularly...

...that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material.

I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not...

Frequently, when a student reaches the point with a tutor where they begin noticing that they are making...

...sure the school gave me useful and creative outlets. He turned my life around, keeping me from following in the footsteps of my two brothers.
