Teaching Philosophy:
"All students can learn just not on the same day or in the same way." - George Evans
It is important for me to teach each of my student's by focusing on the whole child. This includes their learning style, likes/dislikes, and strengths/weaknesses. I feel it is important to pay very close attention to each student's disposition and feelings. This helps me to connect with the student and lead them to working toward their full potential. I believe that all students deserve to be guided to the love of learning. I discover what my students interests are and use that knowledge to tailor my instruction in order to help them find their own passion for learning. It is amazing to see the smile on a student's face when they finally understand a concept, read their first chapter book, write a story they are proud of, and/or score an A on a test. Why hire a private tutor instead of a tutoring center?
* One-on-one attention
* Minimized distractions
* Convenience- Ability to have tutoring sessions in your own home
* Increased level of comfort
* Lower cost- Private tutors do not come with a brand name, overhead, or contracts
* Customized Instruction- Tutoring centers have a set curriculum that often doesn't match what the student is learning in school
* Knowledge of your tutors credentials
* Consistency- In a tutoring center, children can get paired up with whatever tutor is available that day
