...English, but I am also here to help learners of French as well. I studied abroad in Poitiers, France, which was one of the most enlightening and fantastic experiences in my life.

...in English - Professional Communications/Technical Writing and Editing. I love helping students understand how to write in a way that captures their voice and interests while also meeting all of the requirements of their assignments.

I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate challenge...

...delays, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and spectrum disorders and general anti-math feelings. I've worked with several children who have IEPs and 504s; as well as having experienced issues with my own children, I understand how difficult working within the system can be on a family.

A teacher making the material relevant and engaging is the most important step to the learning process, and I hope that I can...

...to find an approach that is tailored to the student's cognitive needs. I am comfortable tutoring the sciences (especially Anatomy and Physiology), math, French, the arts, literature, and essay writing. I really "geek-out" on biology and A&P because it never ceases to amaze me that the delicate and precise mechanisms that drive our existence came about purely through a long process of statistical expression and deletion of traits. Whenever I manage to remove my self...
