I have been tutoring elementary students for over 12 years now in all subjects areas and have had great success helping them excel in school. In addition to tutoring elementary students, I have had experience as a classroom teacher, reading interventionist, and special needs instructor. I offer services during t ... read more

My teaching style depends upon the learning preferences of the student, as I know each student has their own way of learning. Moreover, I also provide additional supplemental information and practice problems. I believe in learning not only the concepts of a subject, but also their real world applications. Furthermore, I believe the most important part of tutoring is making learning fun and providing students with confidence in the subject being tutored.

In addition to tutoring a variety of subjects, I also provide assistance with Master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations, specifically Statistical/Research Design Methodology and Statistical Analysis.
