About
I have experience teaching all ages from 3 to adulthood along with studies in various philosophies of Education: Montessori, Homeschooling, Preschool, Online, University-level...etc
My ability to ADAPT to students is key to efficient learning. Everyone is different and I recognize each individual's needs.
Also, a primary part of my tutoring is being SUPPORTIVE. Many students are stumped by materials simply because they are discouraged and have not had someone to spend adequate time with them to learn the information.
What really gets me excited is when my students say that 'this was never explained to me like that before!'.
I have a way of making things click; putting them in a manner not heard before.
Each student learns differently and has a different objective. I love to analyze their uniqueness and form a plan that is JUST for them. This is where we start to see results!
