Vision: Illumination
I envision a world lit by the knowledge of the mind, guided equally by rationality and intuition, where understanding, respect, and mindfulness give direction to the progress of society. Knowledge is power, and it is shared.

As a tutor I will assist in learning by the most effective and efficient means possible, namely experience, for it is the best teacher.
First we’ll target the problem areas. The darkness of ignorance doesn’t allow you to see what’s hiding in the recesses of your intellectual development. If you’re missing a piece of knowledge from a greater body of knowledge, how would you know? It’s in the shadows.
So let’s light it up. We’ll typically start with a diagnostic test of my own creation. Then we’ll target problem areas with the best learning technique available—direct experience. This is where tutoring gets fun! If it’s literature, we will live the text. If it’s cooking, we’ll dine like kings. If you need help in grammar, vocabulary, writing or any other subject, I’ll do my best to make the content real and tangible for all my students so that they retain long-term knowledge.

Guiding Principles:
Efficient learning develops from efficient study.
Efficient study forms new habits.
New habits arise from new practices.
Experiential learning is personal for the student and commits lessons to long-term memory.
By building new ways to practice, you will develop new and beneficial study habits that result in efficient learning techniques that ultimately result in a greater understanding of the subject area. When efficiency combines with interdisciplinary study, you’ll likely see an improvement in other subject areas as well.
