I love to teach and my students tell me that it shows. I like to evaluate the student to see where they have strengths and weaknesses and how they best respond to instruction. I take skills and break them down to small pieces, to give the student a feeling of success and mastery which can propel them to strive and succeed. I value a lot of positive reinforcement and do my best to provide a positive, active and stimulating learning environment. I have come to realize what a fragile thing teaching is and how important it is to create an environment of success, and a "yes, I can" feeling to encourage the student to keep going in their efforts. I am returning to teaching after years in sales and marketing and now find I have a burning desire to help young people. My teaching career is varied- I have taught very diverse student populations, and age groups from Kindergarten to Col

I am a dynamic, energetic instructor with high standards. My enthusiasm for teaching is obvious in the time and energy I spend to help my students succeed. I want my students to be able to use higher levels of critical thinking skills and become effective problem solvers, not just robots who can memorize facts.

As a tutor, I have the joy of watching my students make progress in their class material as well as seeing their confidence rise. My goal is to make a strong positive impact on the lives of those I teach, and I work hard to achieve that goal.
