Speaking, Reading And Writing Can Be Easy And Even Fun!
About
I appreciate the-to-one experience of tutoring to get to know a student, establish a relationship and figure out how we can best work together for the student to get what they need both for skill development and increased confidence. I believe that learning should be engaging, meaningful, fun and as relevant to everyday life as possible with open, two-way communication.
I work well with people and am experienced, knowledgeable, a good listener, enthusiastic, articulate, caring, understanding, fun and able to create a safe environment for students to express themselves and learn and grow.
