"My only concern is helping my students reach their potential. I begin by getting to know students, their unique talents, stories, and struggles. From there, I craft individualized plans to best fit needs. Our sessions are intense but also engaging--and sometimes even a little fun. I like to make jokes, but I also like to get work done. Students leave my sessions confident in what they have learned and feeling accomplished.
