...that "light bulb" go on when they've learned something new. Having worked with students of all ability levels, and now raising a special needs child, I can truly relate to the importance of differentiating instruction. My hope is that students can learn, through my tutoring, that there is not a "one size fits all" solution to their problems. I will engage your student in whatever they are studying and help to create a lifelong learner.

...successful student and future physician, I developed some great learning tactics that I want to pass on to you! The Game Plan: Since every student is different, I will spend some time getting to know you and your goals so that we can work effectively together.

...to college seniors in a potpourri of subjects. I enjoy teaching Math and Writing the most because of my comprehensive knowledge of the former, and my love of the latter. I don't believe everyone needs to love a subject like Writing, yet they do need to be effective in it no matter what career they eventually pursue. To push that philosophy, my teaching style is Socratic. Students learn best by teaching and doing, not by...
