Tutoring is not classroom teaching. There are important differences between the role of the tutor and that of the classroom teacher. Approaches, relationships, and techniques are different. The tutor works in very close proximity with their student with close interaction using good give-and-take.

The tutor may have to consciously strive to develop a good rapport with the student within this environment. My students knows they have undivided attention with numerous proven techniques and lessons designed just for their individual goals. I can quickly get to know their strengths and weaknesses and work through these strengths to improve performance. With this knowledge of progress, using positive feedback, students feel good about their accomplishments as we progress to the next level. Because of my own education and years of experience I understand and have empathy with often common problems. I will honestly and consistently communicate the agenda, for our session. But that said, it doesn’t mean we can’t share a sense of humor and have fun learning too!

My numerous qualifications include award winning students from classroom to college masters level. Individuals have increased their performance levels and confidence for personal and assessment goals over and over again because of proven focused techniques. Oh yes, my experience over the past 30 years makes all the difference.

Finally, I know how important Rigor, Relevance and Relationship, while having fun learning reading and writing together, are. This means success for all.

To find the experienced, engaging, educated and empowering tutor you need please schedule your lessons quickly. I am excited( too many, "e"-s ?) to meet with you to further your educational goals today.
