As a former full time English teacher and a current part time yoga teacher, I guess you could say teaching has always been a calling for me. I truly enjoy guiding, supporting, and helping to move people forward toward their goals; this type of work is infinitely rewarding.

In addition to reading! and yoga! I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), spending time outdoors, traveling, and simply relaxing with family and friends.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals in writing, reading, literature, school, and life!

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

Every student can achieve if he believes!

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a first session I would get to know a little about the student's interests, and I would also most likely give a short assessment in the subject area at hand.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

Students provided with the right tools and with problem solving skills can become more independent learners.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I would help students stay motivated by encouraging them to focus on the end goal; on the larger success that can be reached by achieving small successes.
