About Me

I am an educational professional with 16 years of experience teaching middle and high school students in both public and private school environments. I have degrees in both history and business. My teaching experience includes history, government, literature, English, logic, and rhetoric. I have and continue to use a variety of methods in the classroom including textbook based materials, discussion, and lectures. I utilize a variety of differently learning styles in the presentation of materials including auditory, visual, and oral. I look forward to seeing how I may be able to help your student reach their potential; whether they need assistance keeping up their class, getting ahead in preparation for their next level of education, semester exam preparation, or summer work. If your student home schools; I am available to you as well. Due to my football coaching responsibilities, my schedule is limited through October. Beginning in November I will have a much wider window.

Q&A with Brian

I try to meet a student where they are at that time. I have no preconceived ideas on what they should know and how well they do in any given subject. I do not compare. I want my students to just be better today than yesterday. If we have enough of those types of days, then goals will be met. How can you help a student become an independent learner? Independent learning is comprised of building skills. There is nothing innate about it. Learning those skills, whether it is reading, reading comprehension, organization, note taking, inquisitiveness, or any other aspect of learning takes practice. Learning is not isolated to school. We should all strive to be not only independent learners, but lifelong learners. How would you help a student stay motivated?
