...weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge.

I'm available to tutor anything English related- grammar, vocabulary,...

...on the ACT - I taught every section of the test, and by the time I left ScorePlus I knew the ACT backward and forward.

...strongly value the power of intrinsic motivation in learningthat is, the power of learning for the sake of learning, rather than for external factors like good grades or others' approval.

Teaching people to like...

...is about more than the subject at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better...
