Above all they treated me as an individual, encouraged me to achieve my personal best and to think critically about many situations within the medical field.

So as a tutor, I want to help you find the way you learn best and help to present the material that way for you. Everyone has the ability to become knowledgable and smart in all areas, if the information is presented in a way that they can understand. I hope to help you do just that! As a mom of...

...to help students manage difficult material with greater ease. Above all, I value creating a comfortable environment where even a timid student can feel comfortable taking chances and making mistakes with the material, free of embarrassment, in the name of improving.
