Experience
I enjoy working with students to develop mastery in a wide variety of subjects, including algebra 1 & 2, English, geometry, middle school math, trigonometry, French 1-4, AP French language and culture, AP United States history, physics, social studies, Latin, geography, public speaking, world religions, reading, comparative literature, writing, conversational French, phonics, English grammar and syntax, and European history. I also work with students to help them prepare for standardized exams such as the SAT, ACT, MAP, and PSAT. I enjoy working with students of all ages and ability levels and have successfully tutored gifted, special education, and ESL/ELL students. I believe one of the greatest evils in the world stems from ignorance and that students deserve as much assistance and guidance as society is able to provide in order to promote the acquisition of knowledge. The role of a tutor is not just to help a student gain a fuller understanding of subject area content, it is also to help students thrive in any learning situation in which they find themselves. To that end, I also take the time to work with students on their general study skills and organizational skills when those are holding them back from reaching their academic potential.
