Fun Facts

I am a weightlifting enthusiast and set a bench press personal record of 295 lbs in 2022 at the age of 58.

About Me

I am an avid lifelong learner that has tutored young and old alike. I will help you achieve your goals and become an exceptional student.

Experience

I was a board member of a charter school in Columbus, OH that was on a list of schools threatened with closure by the Ohio Department of Education. I rallied the board to create a tutoring program that was adopted, resulting in the school becoming a top 50 out of 850 K-8 schools (public, parochial, and charter included). I served as a volunteer tutor and was part of helping students achieve this turnaround.

Approach

As a young person, I wasted time memorizing information and spitting it back out to score well, but the actual learning of the material escaped me. I later learned how to study and understand information deeply which led to subject mastery, but far more importantly it led to a passion and love for learning. I will convey this approach to students and they will prosper from it.

Elementary Math is called this for a reason. It is elementary.

I can do this.
