...to Spanish, but my favorites are English, History, and organizational skills. In my observations, I have always found that giving students proper organizing skills as their foundation for success allows them to reach their full academic potential. I enjoy nothing more than witnessing the students I work with master and apply skills that they once found impossible. In my spare time I love to read, watch films, and keeping up with the latest sports news.

Certified Special Education Tutor in Silicon Valley, CA
...from most tutors and educators is my strategic mindset. Most teachers recite their curriculums like clock work and take the key details for granted. For example, when solving for the length of the longest side of a right triangle "ABC" (Pythagorean theorem), they will show 2 examples in class without explaining why side "C" is "C". Then on standardized test, the sides are now labeled "EFG", and the child struggles to properly choose the correct...

And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen...

Experimenting with different approaches to learning, whether that be visual, auditory, or tactile- kinesthetic, enables the student to not only grasp the material, but also retain it. All it takes is exploring what works best for each individual.
