Award-Winning Tutors in Prescott, AZ

I have been teaching students for over ten years. I love to help students of all ages, of all learning types. I strive to encourage students and to motivate them to love learning any subject!... All teachers know that the individual students who come together in a course make up a unique dynamic; hence no two courses are the same. Consequently, flexibility is important to keep in mind. If I feel that I am not meeting my objectives, or if a lesson or activity does not seem to be working, I try something different. While it is rewarding to see student progress, to see engagement, self-realization, broadening, and student enjoyment of the course, teaching is also rewarding to me. This is one of the most important parts of teaching, for if the teacher is not enjoying the course, the students are not likely to enjoy it, either. Finally, for all that I hope my students take away from my courses, I always take away something, too. Even if this goal is a bit selfish, learning from my students is one of the best things about teaching, and I most certainly consider this a vital part of my teaching philosophy.

...At the end of a given lesson, I don't expect a student to simply regurgitate rules of grammar or word meanings. I want them to speak the language. At the same time, it is most important to have fun and not be pressured or bored. I look forward to working with whomever requests my assistance.
