Teaching Style
I enjoy working with high school and college-age students who are committed to success. I am a firm believer in the maxim that your success in understanding or mastering a concept is directly proportional to the amount of effort you are willing to apply to it. I love helping my students grasp difficult concepts and watching the pride they develop in themselves as a result.
I also enjoy teaching adults new skills and helping them overcome their initial fears of failure and feelings of insecurity. Everyone is capable of learning something new- it is never too late! I am a very patient and methodical instructor who tailors each tutoring course to the individual student's needs.
