Experience
I have tutored for 14+ years and worked with 80+ students (ages 4 to 75) in math, English, science, test prep, college applications, and study skills. My greatest qualities and strengths are empathy, patience and gentleness. I accommodate to students' individual strengths and needs and help them feel SAFE to be themselves and boost their self-esteem. My goal is to help students UNDERSTAND and ENJOY rather than simply memorize the material.
