...live in the Grand Arts District in the City in a building that is designated as an artists' loft. I love the adventure of living in a building with so much human diversity and so many talented artists. I am a retired professor, a published author, a custom jewelry designer, and the Coordinator of the Artists' Collective in my building. I am excited about beginning this new adventure of teaching and learning with Varsity Tutors.

By teaching effective communication skills needed for success in school and beyond, my goal is to make sure each student is confident in their ability to be a productive member in every avenue in life.

...that grades are not everything. They are important, yes, but certainly not worth losing sleep or mental wellness over. My goal, as an academic tutor, is to help kids enjoy learning. Learning does not stop after the test is over -- and it should not be a frustrating experience. I aim to not only facilitate the confident comprehension of subject material, but also to spark new ideas, interests, and a genuine enjoyment of learning in...

...and literacy as well as test prep through high school. My favorite subject to teach is reading because it extends beyond the study of the text.

Since high school, I've known in my heart that I want to be a teacher. It may have taken a circuitous route to return to...

...interests and learning style. This education, combined with my experience as a teacher in Creighton's "Philosophy for Children" program, has helped me to understand that teaching, one-on-one or in a classroom setting, is something that I'm passionate about. I believe that dialogue between mentor and pupil, much in the style of Plato's works, is the most effective way of imparting knowledge. Despite how overbearing or intimidating that might sound, I also think that light, informal...

...reduce stress, and prepare for life's next chapter, whatever that may be.

Finally, for students aspiring to go to medical school, I have a wealth of knowledge about how to prepare an application, select schools, and put yourself in the best position...

...world, and the universe was exhilarating. I found comfort and satisfaction from understanding a concept, demonstrating my skills, and expressing my ideas through writing. Having the opportunity to help students gain those understandings is one of the greatest honors and joys of my life.

From Theology to History, from undergraduate student's personal statements to Masters theses, I covered...

I hope to develop my students into critical thinkers that are able...

...from Webster University in 2014. Since my graduation I have taught high school mathematics in both the public and private school environments, as well as continuing to tutor in my spare time.

...knowledge is essential to moving on to upper level disciplines. Without Algebra, you are not able to do calculus, you are not able to do geometry, and you are not able to understand the theory behind the workings of most Math. My tutoring style is to teach students how to teach themselves. What I mean by this, is that I try to help students understand their own learning styles. In doing so they are better...

...inspire others to be the best they can be. I view education as a holistic experience. I love my content area and care deeply about it. However, I care more about my students. This means that I strive to help my students in ways besides simply understanding the content. I want my students to be better learners, problem solvers and citizens when they leave my classroom. I believe that a teacher has the unique position...
