My strength lies in presenting information in multiple modalities until it “clicks” for the student. Then we practice the skill in a variety of applications, and I provide the student with quirky ways to remember what they’ve learned. I have experience both in the classroom and as a tutor, but I am young and establish a great rapport with my students. As I demonstrated both as a basketball and track and field coach, I am a great motivator!"
