Fun Facts

MY BUCKET LIST INCLUDES SWIMMING WITH SHARKS NOT IN A CAGE, AND RIDING MY BIKE ACROSS THE U.S. FROM PORTLAND, MAINE TO PORTLAND, OREGON!

About Me

I LOVE SPORTS, ANIMALS AND KIDS. NOT MUCH ELSE. I LOVE OLD VINTAGE STEEL BIKES AND LOVE TAKING THEM APART AND REBUILDING THEM.

Experience

I'VE BEEN TUTORING SINCE I WAS A PEER TUTOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN AN ESL TEACHER IN SOUTH AMERICA FOR SEVERAL YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. I CAN HELP YOU WRITE THAT AWESOME PAPER OR POEM!

Approach

I TREAT EVERY CHILD LIKE THEY ARE MY OWN AND REMIND MYSELF HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS FOR ME, AND FOR MY SON IN SCHOOL. IT IS SO MUCH THE LEARNING- BUT THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE LEARN, THE PEOPLE SURROUNDING US, OUR PARENTS' INFLUENCE OVER US, HOW WE START TO PERCEIVE THE WORLD AROUND US AND HOW TO FIND OUR PLACE INSIDE IT.
