...push that philosophy, my teaching style is Socratic. Students learn best by teaching and doing, not by being spoon fed information. Certainly, sometimes they need a helping hand, and other times they need to be in an environment like tutoring where they are allowed to be wrong without penalty. Failure is a vital step of learning. Outside of tutoring, I play a variety of sports, though tennis is the only one I pursue on a...

Many of these subjects were difficult for me as well and I hope to share the techniques I developed to master the material...

...and logical elements that make test preparation a fun challenge. My philosophy as an instructor is to consider each student's goals and preferred pathways to learning, and to then work jointly with the student to prepare a list of goals along with a study plan geared to accomplish those goals. There is no "one size fits all" approach to learning, so I attempt to accommodate each student as an individual. I try to keep lessons...
