Personalized tutoring fills a niche that can't be filled in today's schools alone. More and more parents and educators are realizing that tutoring gets to the heart of learning, personalizing the meaning and instruction of the subject at hand. With all the distraction in today's hyper-technological world, some face-to-face interaction through mentoring, tutoring and coaching is exactly what students need most.

As your child’s English or History tutor, I fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts me in a unique position to support your student. As respectful relationships are the foundation to student success, the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect which are essential ingredients for students to learn well. While using my M.A. in Educational Counseling and two teaching credentials, I will spend time building a relationship with your student, and do the following:

• Truly personalize the learning
• Incorporate connections to the student's interests
• Teach to the student's strengths
• Minimize the student's weaknesses
