About Me

Experience Summary

I have a law degree, but most of my experience comes from working with my own kids and spending hundreds of hours volunteering at their schools helping other children. I home schooled my children for 3 years for the middle school years and so I have experience motivating the surly teen who has no motivation to work as well as the young child that just wants to play. I also taught my children and many others how to read at very young ages and have perfected the technique for teaching children math and reading who love to move. One of my children had ADD and so I know how to work well with this issue. I also have a technique for teaching multiplication and math to very young children. You can see an example of the results of my work here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnBCQKn8wBs. The key is making everything FUN!!! This applies whether a younger or older child.

Teaching Style

The key to successful teaching is to make it fun!

My Hobbies

I coach a robotics team for elementary and middle school aged children. The website hasn't been updated in a while, but it is located at www.piheads.com.

Subject Commentary

Elementary Math This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have a technique for teaching elementary math to even the most uninterested student. All of my children knew their multiplication tables at age 5. It's about making it fun.
Elementary Reading This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I taught all of my children to read at a very young age and I have a technique down that makes reading fun and easy for all children. A great system for boys that don't like to sit still as well as girls. An example of my child reading at a very young age can be seen here for an example of my results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnBCQKn8wBs
Study Skills
I home schooled my children and have developed techniques to make the most uninterested students interested in learning. I have employed this technique with special needs students with great success as well.
