My tutoring background includes working with elementary through high school aged students. As a recent graduate of one of the top-rated business schools in the nation, I clearly enjoy learning and therefore want to share that with others through tutoring.

My Teaching Style is to build a relationship with the student and their family. That is based on trust, confidence and a great deal of praise.

As well as to encourage them to praise my student daily. Also they must provide activities that challenge their mind and build there confidence. This allows everyone to be a part of their success. For example: If they are working on reading skills. They must allow the child to read to them nightly.

I strongly believe that most if not all students are c
