I adhere to Gardener's Multiple Intelligences, which states that each student possesses certain intelligences and that using a students' strengths improves their achievement. Each student has individual needs, that when nurtured, will allow the student to realize his potential. Students learn differently in different environments, and as an educator, I believe a student learns best when in a comfortable environment, especially with new or challenging material. Most importantly, it is my goal to help students become individual learners and thinkers, to teach them not only content but how to help themselves as well. As a teacher, I had high expectations for all my students, and they reached them when we set manageable goals.

I am a born teacher, and I love the challenge of bringing students who are less than engaged in the learning process to becoming eager and confident learners. I am patient, though I also believe in setting goals and reaching benchmarks and deadlines. My basic philosophy is that all young people are not only able to learn but also capable of much more than they or their environment may believe. My goal is to increase their confidence by praising their successes, and to hone their skills by expecting rigorous application of their efforts to the learning tasks at hand. I have been teaching and tutoring students since the 1980's, both in Israel (where I completed my B.A.) and in the United States, first as a graduate student and then as an Assistant Professor of English.

Besides having eleven years of teaching experience in the classroom, I have seven years of one-on-one tutoring experience with students in grades K-12. I created and managed an alternative program for a school district and developed all the curriculum for grades K-12. High school students were taught skills to prepare them to take the GED. My specialties include math and language arts courses. My passion is teaching. I love it when a student's lightbulb goes off and everything fits in place. That moment of discovery excites me as much as it does the student. Consistant praise produces positive results. My goal in life is to instill in my students the desire to become lifetime learners.
