What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that the only tools necessary to succeed are effort and individualized attention! With your efforts and my work to personalize your learning- we will succeed!

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a typical first session with a student, I generally take time to learn about their preferred methods of learning and their areas of weakness. That way we can work together to address these knowledge gaps in a way that is effective!

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

By teaching study techniques, rather than just offering information, my students will learn to personalize their own learning experiences moving forward.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

I help my students stay motivated by making learning manageable in order to offer more opportunities for success and, therefore, more opportunities to be confident!

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Every concept and skill is important in learning, as learning is a process requiring building blocks. If a student is having trouble at any point, I work to create multiple learning tools that will target varied learning approaches and needs.
