My Philosophy
Every experience in tutoring is a new one, each student is an individual and the course, unique. There are many components of tutoring including building a strong foundation, developing confidence, creating varied critical problem solving techniques and strong work ethics that go beyond the academics into the future. The final outcome is an independent, knowledgeable, hard-working, critical thinker. This is accomplished with the cooperation of all involved during tutoring. Ongoing communication is important and welcome. Constant assessment of the individual's needs and learning styles are reviewed, reflected on and revised. A student finishes with greater strength and resources when faced with a task, assignment, or an exam. This is done in a positive atmosphere combining hard work, pride and even excitement at the high levels that the student can attain. There is no better opportunity than to have such an intense environment in which to work. Interaction is a necessity and the experience and knowledge of what the future curriculum will demand from this student gives a tutor the advantage to build a strong environment that will enhance the "ability to learn".
