About Me

As an educator, the parallels one can make with students regarding excellent study habits and techniques is that they are quite similar to excellent habits and techniques that occur within physical exercise. An individual can lift weights for an extended period of time, but without proper form, the benefit gained would be minimal. A runner can train solely by running twelve miles the day before her thirteen mile race, but that would be highly ineffective. The best athletes know to seek out the proper techniques for improvement, and apply their efforts towards utilizing those techniques. Similarly, for you, the student, practicing repeatedly without any structure is not sufficient for success or excellence in your academic pursuits. Having the right techniques and skills in your study toolkit is vastly more effective. Success comes not only from applying yourself, but in directing your efforts in the correct ways. You need both proper from and exposure when it comes to how you study and practice, and that is what my tutoring can provide. As your personalized tutor (and an avid runner) I can assist you with directing your effort towards the right areas to ensure optimum success. I have taught critical reading, writing, and thinking skills at the university level for the past 5 years, and can transfer these skills to you to assist you with improving your performance on standardized tests at multiple levels, and/or your quality of writing on academic papers. Further as a highly capable instructor with several degrees between humanities related disciplines. I can enhance your understanding of what many students have found to be highly challenging subject material. I look forward to working closely with you to create a plan for your future academic success.
