About
We are dedicated to ensuring all students meet not only academic goals, but behavior goals as well. Not every student learns the same, so it is important to us that we tailor each lesson to each individual. As a tutor, I strongly believe that in order to achieve academic goals, we have to work with behavior goals as well. Behaviors such as staying focused, listening, paying attention to detail, and so on are behaviors that impact academics. While working with a student I ensure to touch all of those basis to achieve academic success.
I have been tutoring Math and English for over 10 years, from elementary to highschool students. I have been able to help students reach new heights that they never knew existed. As a result from working closely with my students, they have achieved success in academics, behavior, and socially. Those who struggled with reading are now reading at their grade level or beyond, some are on honor roll, and some are advanced in math and English. I pride myself in ensuring the students I work with reach every goal attainable.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My typical process of working with a student is to first assess their needs. During the first session I identify their strengths and weakness. Once I have identified them, I devise a lesson plan to build off their strengths and advance their weaknesses. I take my time with students and never rush them to meet a goal. I brush up on core values to ensure the students know their basic fundamentals. Once my students know their basics, we can then go into the subject at hand. I create worksheets, activities, and lessons just for that student. Throughout our lessons, I typically quiz them on what was learned in prior lessons to ensure that they are still on track. At the end of the subject matter, I give my students a mini test to assess their strengths and weaknesses, to compare them to the beginning of the sessions.
