I believe that the purpose of education is to develop the natural abilities of students to prepare them for the challenges and opportunities they will encounter in life. Since students’ natural abilities vary, so must their education. For this reason, I strongly believe that one-on-one or small group tutoring must be the cornerstone of any effective learning program. When tutoring, I identify the unique nature of the student’s needs and meet those needs through research-based, current techniques that foster academic confidence, growth, and success.
