Certified Social Studies Tutor in Westminster, CO

I see success in terms of curiosity that grows throughout a lifetime, and reaches into new domains. Confident, creative thinkers are always in short supply, so it feels good to collaborate with Varsity Tutors to encourage more of them.

This also means that not everyone needs the same thing. Some students just...

...that forging a personal connection between the student and the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity.
