Teaching Methods:

I meet students "where they are" in their experience and interests, providing resources and tools to enhance their learning through self-motivation and building confidence. I research the best methodologies for presenting the subject matter of each lesson, and work to make sure the student's needs are met.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you about you or your student's tutoring needs." less...
