Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Portsmouth, VA

...that my teachers made on my life. If I hadn't had teachers in high school, college, and law school who were willing to spend their personal time mentoring and tutoring me, I would not have excelled to my current position. Therefore, I endeavor to give others the same one-on-one help that I received. Every student deserves a patient teacher who will help deepen and strengthen the student's understanding of his or her coursework.... My teaching philosophy involves spending time getting to know each student to better understand how he or she thinks. Then, I tailor my teaching methods to enhance each student's ability to comprehend and grow in his or her understanding of the subject matter.

I can help you improve your approach to the test so you can achieve the...

I believe that learning should be fun and that engaging the student is the best way to get them excited about a subject. In my spare time I am a voracious reader, spend a lot of time with my children and am involved in my synagogue.

...my students and I like to bring a sense of humor to my lessons to help keep them engaged. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade to seniors in college and I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, but my favorite subjects to tutor are Economics, LSAT prep, Government, Essay Editing, and Public Speaking.

...I read, hike, and write novels. I have a strongly student-centered approach to teaching. I begin by finding out what specific parts of a subject the student is having trouble with, explain and demonstrate those areas, and then discuss them to make sure they are fully understood.

...and to gain confidence and competence in areas that previously challenged them. I believe that the most important attribute I possess that makes me a great tutor is my open-mindedness. I understand on a personal level that different people have different learning styles, strengths, etc., and that often problems can be solved and concepts may be grasped just by looking at them from another perspective. I have experience working with students of varying age groups....
