Michael: ASPIRE test prep instructor
...I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult...

...is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe every moment has the potential to be life changing.... I strive to continue working on each issue a student has until he or she not only understands how to do the problem, but also the concept behind the solution.

I believe every student has the potential to learn and that the teaching/learning relationship requires 100% effort from the teacher and student.

I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is...
