I believe that every student can learn if the right approach is used. Finding the right buttons for the student to push is the real job of the tutor.... My philosophy is rather simple, but effective.

Not only is this more interesting and exciting for them, it leads to a sense of 'ownership'...

After all, no two students are alike. By providing a comfortable demeanor coupled with expert knowledge of the subject area, I can help a student learn in the best way possible. My favorite subjects are and have always been foreign languages (particularly Spanish and French), math,...

If the student recalls the steps and recites them,...
