As long as she felt grounded enough to access her innate understanding of the world around us, she progressed. Later on, my extensive experience in the classroom as a Jumpstart Corps Member taught me to adapt my teaching style to each childs needs. While some learned better through mnemonics and letter-to-word associations, others...

...B.S in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. With several years of tutoring experience under my belt, and a long journey of figuring out my own techniques for studying and retaining vital classroom knowledge, I have a tool belt ready of methods to succeed in the classroom. Additionally, I have worked with students on all sides of the learning/comprehension spectrum and will help your child gain the confidence and skills necessary for long term success!... I believe one thing wrong with today's educational systems is that students focus too much on the short terms goals - memorizing information just for the next test, rushing through homework just to get a good grade for that assignment, cramming just to pass a 3 hour AP or regents, etc. I hope to teach students to gain knowledge and confidence in a subject, not just short-term memorization, and walk away with lifelong test-taking, learning, and study tools.

I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.
