About Me

My interest in tutoring comes from my own positive educational experiences and from my love of learning. I believe that learning can and should be fun. As a communication professional, working with corporations and non-profit organizations, I understand how important it is to develop a solid foundation of reading and writing skills. Competence in vocabulary, reading comprehension, and the ability to organize and communicate facts and ideas is the basis for all learning. As the tutor, my role is to serve as a mentor providing access to information and opportunities for discovery and knowledge development. I believe it is important to make the tutoring session relevant to the students interests, therefore involving them in the process and creating excitement to learn. My tutoring approach is student-centered. Each student is unique. How do they learn? What is their motivation? What are their strengths and weakness? Do they need to improve study methods? Do we need to work on their approach to learning? By sharing my love of learning, I help my students build confidence and develop the skills to foster success throughout their education, career and life.

Q&A with Vicki

My interest in tutoring comes from my own positive educational experiences and from a love of learning. How one goes about teaching a subject depends on the student's background, academic skills and learning preferences. I believe that learning can and should be fun. The challenge is to engage the student - creating an atmosphere that is motivating and encourages active thinking and interest. For the younger student, it is important to take small steps so that the instruction is not overwhelming and to use a mix and match of pace and teaching methods. It's important to check the student's understanding of the material along the way - ask questions and talk with the student about their answers. Celebrate successes and support their efforts. Students who are active participants learn much more.
