...am dedicated to the experience of knowledge, including to and not limited to the English Language, reading, writing, and effective communication in any situation, mode, or medium.

Lastly, my hope is for all students to love words and the power, responsibility, and gifts they bring....

I also believe most students learn best when they are challenged, have room to be expressive, and lastly have the opportunities to demonstrate, apply, and stretch their learning.

...equal and mutual contributions to the learning process. Tutors have the responsibility to adapt materials to the learning styles, interests, and personalities of their students. Because of this, I always do my best to adapt my tutoring and any materials that I use to the needs of the individual student.
