Building Confidence and Boosting Student Engagement Since 1986
The math is the easy part. If all I had to do was demonstrate math knowledge to students, I'd have the simplest job in the world.
But for me, tutoring is about building--or often re-building--confidence. I search for the key to unlock the student's potential. I strive to work myself out of a job by teaching ahead.
My students usually go to class having already attempted the material with me. Thus, they are more receptive to instruction and better engaged.
I try my hardest to break the vicious cycle of confusion and frustration, replacing it with a positive cycle of confidence and learning.

Approaches to Learning
Some students are gifted at math and just need a session or two to understand a challenging topic.
Others want to raise an already high grade to an even higher level.
Still other students come to me in danger of failing. With one exception, no student of mine has failed their class.
Finally, I have experience teaching and tutoring students with learning disabilities. Although I am not an exceptional education teacher, I have tutored many students with ADHD and other learning differences.
I have learned to accommodate students' various learning styles. I build in short breaks for students who need them, and I provide sufficient wait time so that the student can think clearly without undue pressure to perform.

I have lots of friends who tutor, and I'm confident we can find a tutor for your child, no matter what the need or subject.
Standardized Test Prep
I have seven years experience preparing students for all four areas of the ACT.
I am also experienced with the PSAT, SAT, and GRE.
Test prep is most effective when the student practices at home as well as with me. I can recognize patterns in each student's mistakes and help each student formulate a strategy.
Although I can't guarantee specific results, most students do improve from the first to second attempt at a given test. Practice and individual tutoring often result in even bigger gains.
