I believe in the power of patient and passionate educators such as myself to inspire, challenge, and invigorate pupils to conquer new academic horizons, thus increasing any individual pupil's chances for success down their own chosen paths of study or within the profession of their choosing. I believe that humility and respect on my part create an environment where learning can happen on both sides of the tutor/pupil relationship, and through said humility and open-mindedness an ideal educational bond will inevitably form. I am ready to listen to your individual academic needs (or those of your child), and my expertise in Reading, Writing, Spanish and Literature, cultivated over a rigorous academic career, renders me an ideal candidate to help YOU with whatever you might need. I have no preconceived agenda other than listening to your specific needs (or those of your child), and catering to those needs with all the tools in my academic tool-box. I am incredibly hard-working, diligent, and thorough, but most of all I believe in the student's ability to expand his or her own horizons when presented with the environment and opportunity to do so. Therein lies the pupil's power, and I guarantee, with my help, improvement in the subject with which you or your child are struggling within a few sessions. Thanks for taking the time to read my statement, and I hope to work closely with you or your child soon.
