Experience
My tutoring experience began in 2002 when I was hired and trained as a standardized test and academic subject instructor in private, small group, and classroom formats. I've also taught undergraduate classes, campaign finance trainings to potential elected officials, dance, computer skills, and much more! Teaching is in my DNA. Throughout the years I have developed a dynamic personal teaching style. I observe and interact with my students to diagnose areas of confusion, provide clear explanations and examples, and engage and challenge you to reach your highest potential through practice. In the past, I've heard that students learned more in our sessions than in school, while increasing confidence and strengthening work ethic. Past students and parents praised my ability to inspire interest in the topic, my emphasis on understanding and critical thinking, and my friendly personality.
