I am a full-time professional tutor and certified performance coach. I work with failing students, low-performing students, and those students who seek enrichment and advancement. My caseload includes first graders to college students and adults.
Subjects: Mathematics, Reading, Writing, Test Preparation
My work includes getting to the source of what is preventing my student from realizing his or her full potential in any given area of study. My objective is to provide ways to help my students grow their potential. In addition to content, I teach my students how to learn and how to change in ways that will improve their performance. I fill gaps in my students' knowledge, understanding and skill set as it relates to their performance. I teach and model the skills that enable learning to happen and provide lessons and materials designed to develop and to refine critical and analytical thinking and reasoning skills.
Creating a successful tutor-student relationship is key to a successful outcome.
How I work:
I build trust. Trust is the conduit to confidence and growth. I create an environment that enables my student to feel comfortable taking small risks, to experiment with techniques, and to comfortably talk about whatever is unclear or confusing.
I go beyond mastery of content. Under my tutelage my student's learning, thinking, and test-taking skills will develop and grow, thereby accelerating their progress.
I guide and support my student in defining realistic goals, creating and mapping a plan in order to achieve said goals, resulting in positive, tangible outcomes.
