"Helping students achieve academic success has been a passion of mine for twenty-eight years. It is always a pleasure to help students finally understand concepts that have been eluding them. I have helped quite a few students succeed who were on the brink of failing their classes. I do this by assigning individualized homework that reinforces what I and/or their in-school instructors have been teaching and by using innovative strategies that take advantage of their personal learning style(s). Determining precisely where a student's difficulty begins is not easy, but I have a knack for doing just that--with patient and thorough detective work. If you or your child has got the will, I have got the way!

I have a Master of Science degree in epidemiology, have completed eight years of college, and have regularly been awarded spots on the University of Iowa's Dean's and President's Lists for earning high grades. Currently, I am working part time on my Ph.D. in epidemiology at the University of Iowa. I have taught students from elementary school to college level — nearly all of whom have achieved significantly improved grades. The subjects I love tutoring include (but are not limited to) elementary math through pre-calculus; all levels of English; writing; ESL/ESOL; ACT, SAT, ASVAB, and GRE test preparation; study skills, time management, and organization; and beginning and intermediate levels of music." less...
