About
I provide a holistic approach to tutoring that seeks to identify as well as work with students and the stakeholders in their lives that impact perfomance
I enjoy meeting different students and individuals who have different needs and experiences. it is not only an opportunity to teach , but an opportunity to learn, grow and find answers to different challenges faced by the students. It's a journey an amazing process and each experience is always different and unique and has helped me learn to know that there's no one size fits all approach to tutoring.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I seek to create a relationship with the student by learning about whp they are as an individual, their goals and what they expect to get from the tutoring relationship. I also seek to understand their learning history to identify what they have struggled with , methods that have been used that have worked and challenges that have been experienced and methods that have not worked. Together we design a road map that gives us a clear structure of were we are and were we are trying to go and we create a study plan that will guide us
