| Message to Students and/or Parents: |
Learning is not a science, nor is an art - it is an integral part of life that we take with us from birth to death. My style of tutoring focuses on three major ideas: 1) How can we make the subject matter relevant to the student, 2) How can the student learn to find answers and awaken new interests, and 3) How can we have fun learning?
Using the Socratic method as a primary starting point, it is my pleasure to help guide students of different backgrounds with individual needs in a manner in which learning is fun, not a chore, and that excellence in academic subjects is a point of pride. |
