Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I put students at ease with humor and excellent conversation skills, but I don't waste time and have extremely high expectations for my students.
I use data to make all instructional decisions, beginning with baseline assessments, ongoing maintenance assessments, homework assignments that align with the curriculum, and regular unit assessments. I use a unit organizer that allows the parent and student to plan and prepare for the day's lesson and or homework help.
I have a long history of helping students create and accomplish/exceed their academic goals.
