...of my personal favorite topics to teach are narrative and argumentative writing, algebra I, and pre-algebra. With the impact of COVID-19 on students around the world, it is more important than ever that students enjoy and feel confident about learning.

...engineering, and I am eager to help others do the same. The best way to learn, in my mind, is through cultivating a willingness to examine the complex nature of the world around us. This does not always come easy (the best things in life rarely do), but I firmly believe that this willingness allows us to become successful as individuals and as contributors to the well-being of society and the planet.

...beneficial to their everyday lives, regardless of where their interests may eventually lead them. I also want to give my students methods for surviving and thriving in today's increasingly fast- paced and technologically advanced world. To do this, they need the critical thinking and analytical skills to discriminate and interpret the information with which they are bombarded everyday from a variety of sources. I want to show them that science is not a static body...

My background is in Language Arts education and as such that is the subject matter in which I am strongest, but I am more than capable to assist in a wide range of subjects. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how best I can help you improve your...

...started tutoring back in the 90's in a program called Start Making A Reader Today (SMART). I found some computer programs that did alphabet and word recognition with animation. I also worked in an after school tutoring program for high school students. It was a melding of tutoring and mentoring, trying to get some at-risk students into college by improving their grades. I like math and physics, so much so that I tried to teach...

My goal is to get my students to the point where they no longer need me. I like to focus on the underlying concepts so that students can apply what we learn in our sessions to problems they haven't seen before. After our sessions, my students should be able to have a concrete plan when attempting a new problem and be able to extrapolate their knowledge of concepts to master the details.... Concepts first, details later....

Formulas that are memorized without understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different. I use compassion and dialogue to...

...but also improve their confidence by reinforcing the value of improving on their academic weaknesses. In my opinion intellectual growth occurs when the student is challenged, not just when the student is learning something new. I prefer students in high school and college, as those are the ages I have the most experience with, but if you would like me to tutor your child I would be more than happy to help them grow. I...
