...to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)... Students learn...

...that it is easy for students to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have...

I volunteered there for the past semester before deciding to do it as a job. I tutor Introductory Business and Economics classes as well as SAT/ACT prep. I especially enjoy tutoring Economics because I enjoy the subject and a lot of times students just need to...
