By using comparisons to my students lives I am able to engage them in the subject and provide them with the capacity to learn the material.

...is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there is real joy in that!

...of "struggling together", because as a student myself, I understand the challenge of trying to improve in an area where you don't feel confident. While I will definitely sympathize with students, that does not take away from my firm belief that growth is 100% possible with dedicated effort.

I have learned from working with kids that every student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student.

I seek students are sincere and...
