Hi! My aim is not just to teach your child how to "do" the work, but to also help them embrace the concepts as it relates to the world around them. My belief is that if you understand "why" you are learning something (beyond the short term gratification) it makes the work and process of learning easier and more enjoyable. The goal of this approach is to enable the student to reach the measured (i.e. grades and test scores) levels of success faster and continue to want to learn going forward. A little about me: I am a graduate of the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and have a MBA from the Zicklin School of Business. I spent 17 years in advertising rising to the position of Executive Vice President of Account Planning (Strategic Planning). The part of loved most about my job was mentoring young members of my team and teaching my clients how to better connect with consumers. Thus I decided to shift my career to education. That of course is where tutoring came in. My specialties are math and business and I'm driven by helping and witnessing young people have those moments when they discover learning doesn't have to "suck."
