About Me

I am a Martial Arts Instructor who coaches students on a daily basis in order to help them operate to their fullest potential. I push my students to perform beyond what is required of them, so that they are better equipped to handle the various obstacles in life. I approach tutoring in much the same way and often combine my coaching methods and philosophies with my teaching methods and systems. My goal with each of my students is to teach them well enough that I eventually put myself out of a job! I train my students to be active learners who understand how to research information, to reason through known facts, and to make educated conclusions for themselves in order to give them the tools necessary to solve real-world scenarios. I believe that every student has the potential for genius inside of them, just waiting to be revealed. My favorite method of teaching is guiding students through a new topic by asking them a series of questions that lead them to the correct answer. I consistently research new teaching methods, psychological studies, and educational movements in order to stay current with academic trends, and to provide my students with the best instruction possible. I use what I know about psychology and learning styles to develop a method tailored to each of my students' needs. It is also very important to me to build a trusting relationship with my students in which they know that I have their best interests at heart and that I truly do care for their success. I like to spend time getting to know each of my students by dedicating a small portion of each session to talking about the day and sharing what is on our minds. I have a strong record of increasing test results and overall grades, and all my students show a dramatic improvement in character and demeanor.
