...but also to be respectful, patient and positive. I believe that it is wrong to call the disparities in skill an achievement gap; rather, I believe it is an opportunity gap. It isn't that students aren't capable of success, it's that the opportunity for success is not always readily available to them. I am a...

...Public Schools. I love to see students go from describing themselves as "not a math person" to feeling like they meet exciting challenges in math and other parts of their lives.

...Chicago. On the side, also teach dance to children from elementary to high school and occasionally adults. I am proficient in the subjects and areas I have studied.

I know that school is not always an enjoyable experience for students, so in my tutoring approach I try to create a positive environment that helps students feel empowered in their learning.

...ideas and concepts. I emphasize that only through asking questions will they actively learn. My goal is for students to learn how to flick that switch in their heads, and in fact think differently.
