Everyone can learn, if they have the desire. My goal is to empower my students while understanding their learning styles, gaining a better idea of their perspective of the world, and to thereby teach them through their perspective for maximum success. Education is my passion. If my students aren't successful, how can I be?

...20 years as an Assistant Principal. I went to school in Buffalo at Canisius College and at Buffalo State College. I love teaching English classes especially literature and poetry.

In other words deciding for yourself what an author is trying to teach you and what you can teach others through your writing.

...focuses on asking students questions in order to get them to reach their answers. Throughout my experience tutoring I've found that engaging a student in dialogue about the question at hand is far more successful than doing all of the talking. There's no better way of ensuring that a student understands the material than getting them to put it in their own words! Beyond my passion for learning and teaching I'm a huge sports fan...

...was accepted to Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn, and NYU Law Schools. I most enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most...
