A Little Bit About Me...

I embrace a unique passion for teaching children, especially for working with students on a one-on-one basis. I thrive on connecting with each student as an individual, and enhancing their academic lives in ways they may not get in other environments. I strive to "find" every child's gift, and celebrate it. I observe the strengths and weaknesses of each student, and work with the teaching team and parents to determine steps in building on each identified success and/or challenge. My dream is to forever work with children in an effort to provide them knowledge, safety, consistency, and love.

More About This Tutor...

My style of teaching is dynamic, active and often visual. I demonstrate ideas and concepts either visually or by association, to bring a picture in the mind of the learner. I endeavor to simplify complicated ideas. I use demonstration, analogy and metaphor to invite the learners away from the fear of learning and into the realm of fun. I believe all people, young and old, are inquisitive and eager to learn. I believe roadblocks to learning can be removed with patience, understanding and acceptance of the person trying to learn. I believe there is great potential in all people and I strive to help them find their place in the world. I’m committed to bringing understanding and insight to each student I teach. I have fun!
