Award-Winning Tutors serving Marina Del Ray, CA

...I have honed since first being certified for Advanced College Level Tutoring in 97'. Over the years I realized that a strict "across the board" curriculum just doesn't work for every student.

...math classes.

...simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same time for early cultures? Or that early arithmetical and geometrical proofs were found to exist in natural formations? I find that once connections and insights like the previous occur with the learner, passion begins to grow, and education no longer becomes a requirement, but a self-employed pursuit. In my spare time, I love expanding my knowledge of different artists in...
