Experience
I have tutored K-12 students in a variety of subjects for the past 10+ years. I began by tutoring elementary and middle school students in 2000, but expanded to high school age students in 2004. I've worked with public school students in California & Illinois, as well as boarding school students at Concord Academy in Concord, MA. Helping my students identify their strengths, improve their weaknesses & eventually reach their goal is my passion. I believe this can be accomplished by setting small, attainable goals each week. If possible, I like to speak with my students/their parents over the phone before tutoring begins so I can be prepared to most efficiently use our time together. My goal is to help my students master the concepts they are studying, as well as develop organization & study skills. I have expectations for my students & myself. I expect my students to be willing to learn & work hard; for myself, I to be able to help them so and see gradual, measurable improvement each week.
