Why do I tutor?

To pay forward the support I have received throughout my life.

Tutoring Experience

I had a student that was brilliant and passionate about learning. Despite that, her teacher was very demeaning and unsupportive. Throughout my time with her, I helped her improve her self confidence and realize how truly unique of a person and intelligent she was.

Tutoring Style

Executive Function; Time Management, Academic Advising, Active Listening, Understanding various backgrounds

Positive Learning Environment

An environment that encourages improvement and success through collaboration rather than competition.

Importance of Being a Mentor

Being a voice of reason, empathy, and understanding for those who may not have any other means of support.
