I find it my greatest goal to make sure that all students, from those seeking the highest standards to those struggling with basic skills, can understand themselves, can define their abilities, and can work forward to becoming all that they are meant to be. My years of teaching experience have helped prepare me with two important abilities: seeing language arts as a means to develop students' awareness and ability to communicate more effectively, and...

...respect all my students as people who want to learn, but just don't know the correct path. As a lifelong learner and a person passionate about many subjects, I often find myself in the same situation.

If giving respect and being respected is the most important aspect of the teacher-student relationship, the second most important is being prepared....

I love working with students to improve their skills in an area of study, and my favorite part is getting to see them gain confidence in themselves and their own abilities!

...and historian and have experience in tutoring a myriad of subjects, especially those in the humanities. I tend to like to keep sessions casual when possible-- I don't want to lecture you. I'm a strong believer that concepts are best grasped when you form your own opinions and feelings about the subject, and that happens with conversation! So, let's get to know each other a little bit before we hit the books so that I...
