Hobbies

I love teaching and believe that there is a way for everything that they are learning to become doable and quite possibly fun. I know that it can be hard to get interested in something that you're not invested in, but I will try my hardest to help your student find a way to connect with, or at the very least understand and complete, their assignments and tackle those books or essays that seem impossible or overwhelming to them. I seek to give them the confidence and skills to complete their assignments or interpret their readings with less and less assistance over time until they can feel proud of their work and ideas on their own.
