Hobbies
In addition to my educational background I am an avid runner, hiker, and climber. I've had great success helping students from 7th grade to graduate level achieve their goals by working in partnership with them and by tailoring tutoring programs that fit their individual needs. For students in 7th-12th I work closely with the parents in order to keep communication open and so all parties involved are aware of progress being made and what further actions can be taken to achieve the optimal results.
