Working with central city and at-risk youth is my life work. For the past ten years I have worked in a myriad of social service and educational settings employing a plethora of strategies aimed at helping central city and at-risk students achieve academic, career and social success.

I enjoy challenging my students, however to do this effectively it is important that they remain engaged. One of the ways in which I do this is to encourage students to think creatively. Creativity is the key to success with education. Not only does it foster confidence and positive self-esteem, creativity keeps the brain on its toes, so to speak, by continually challenging students’ abilities and forcing students to expand beyond their academic comfort zone. Teaching students to develop new ways to solve problems generates the confidence needed to succeed not only in school but also in life. My interest in becoming a tutor stems from my life long passion for teaching and learning. Throughout the past eight years, I have focused my efforts on soaking up my education and research exper
