Currently I tutor for three major companies, two for K-12; the other includes all ages/areas and where I've received consistent five star reviews from students who receive A's on college papers, a website launch, and successful presentations. All of my K-12 English Language Arts students have increased their pre- to post-test scores by 100%.

My tutoring approach is patient and kind--with humor--but is likewise demanding. As each student grasps a concept, they feel surprise, happy; and their confidence increases. Soon they anticipate their sessions, enjoying their accomplisments. I use varied, fun and challenging exercises, incorporating constant verbal interaction. My teaching style or method aligns with the Behar-Horenstein study:

• My teaching is guided by instructional strategies that help learners make meaning.

• My learning environment is supportive and cooperative.

• I change assessment technique according to the lesson objectives.

• I ask learners questions frequently to determine what they understand.
