I begin by meeting with the new student and going over the courses, subjects, or skills that we will be working with during our future sessions.  I prefer to see any past work that has been completed in order to understand the level we are working at.  I then proceed to plan out the future sessions accordingly, taking into consideration any assignment or test deadlines.  During my first session with a new student I can typically get an understanding for the student's learning style.  My process ensures that we are working at a pace that is productive and comfortable for the student.

I have a high level and very broad educational background.  I have held positions both paid and voluntary at several high schools and universities and have been tutoring for over 10 years.

I do not have a standard pricing system.  I work with students and parents of students in order to come up with pricing and payments that fit their situation and needs.  I am very flexible when it comes to payment.

I began teaching and tutoring when I noticed that I was performing at an advanced level in high school and saw that some of my fellow classmates and teammates were struggling in areas that I was excelling in.  At that point I took the initiative to volunteer my time and knowledge towards helping others achieve their educational goals.  When I found the opportunity to be employed doing the same thing, I ceased those opportunities and have been teaching ever since. 

I have worked with grade school and high school students, those working to attain their GED, undergraduate students and student athletes and some active military veterans in service training courses.

Just over a year ago I came to find out that an old friend of mine who has four children had two daughters who were not doing too well in school; however, I knew they were very bright young ladies.  I took the time over the next few weeks to be present during their homework time.  After a few homework sessions I recognized the issue right away.  The younger of the two girls who also happens to have a slight speech impediment knew the material however she was having trouble relaying the material.  Mainly vocabulary and reading.  After working with her on her homework every week and focusing a lot more on her reading, her grades in every subject rose tremendously, to the point that she has received recognition several times since then for her academic achievements

When looking to hire a teacher or tutor in any area of expertise a student should always look at their experience as well as their teaching style.  These 2 aspects are key to finding a good fit in order to learn successfully.

When looking to hire a teacher or tutor in any area of expertise a student should always look at their experience as well as their teaching style.  These 2 aspects are key to finding a good fit in order to learn successfully.  The student should also consider how much of their time they currently and are willing to contribute towards their schoolwork.  Lastly, students should always take time to think about their education goals both short term and long term.  All of these will make it easier for a teacher or tutor to better assess a student's needs.
