Summit Educational Solutions
About
I have been working as a tutor, and instructor for over 20 years. I make learning interesting by incorporating technology and online videos to reinforce the objective of the lessons. I encourage interactive discussions with my students about the skill(s) we cover.
I enjoy getting to know my students and their interests. I like investigating ways where I can incorporate these interests into our lessons.
