Experience
Tutoring, for me, is more than simply a cynical ploy to get some quick cash. I love helping people, and truly enjoy the teaching process and discovering, relating, explaining, and analyzing new information. I hope to convey that love of learning to your or your child. I love working with students who want to learn, and believe that with hard work and the right approach, any student can succeed at any subject.
