"I work with students of all ages: pre-school, K-12, college, and adult education. I also offer ACT test preparation and support for home schooling. I am an experienced tutor, teacher, and mentor with an aptitude for working with special needs students. I have a Ph.D. in Geography with specialties in historical geography, water resources, human-environment interactions, mountain geography, and the North American West. My experience includes tutoring in private and learning center settings, college teaching, classroom instruction, outdoor education, and teaching college courses online. Mentoring, supervising, and assisting students with individualized needs and projects is a forte.

My approach to tutoring emphasizes the student as an individual and as a learner with unique capacities, abilities, and interests (not just problems). Building on their strengths is the essence of the process, and helping them become enthusiastic about their studies and the learning process is the aim. Fostering a lifelong love of learning is what I seek to do." less...
