"If you sense a need to improve your abilities in English and math, you should take steps now to get some help. These subjects build upon themselves each year; don't wait until you get behind! Most 7th through 12th graders can succeed in math and English grammar with some individual help! College students are generally motivated, but may need to have some concepts refreshed.

Along with high school English and math, my teaching experience includes physics, chemistry, geography, Bible, physical education, public speaking, and choir. I have over twenty years of experience with teenagers, eight of those years in a formal classroom setting. I have had the privilege of training a number of student teachers in English, math, and physics.

Policies that will make your tutoring sessions special:

1) The "elastic hour." Schedule permitting, your 60-minute lesson can be stretched a bit without charge.

2) Many of my students meet for lessons at a Panera Bread location.

3) Those with financial needs may be able to pre-arrange their first session free. Requires 3-day notice.

4) For mixed-gender tutoring, I ask that a parent or responsible adult be present, or that we meet in a public place. For your added confidence, I am "JLA" certified.

I teach with patience and with a traditional philosophy of education. We will begin where you are in your subject of need and bring you to where you need to be. I can meet for personal sessions in southwest Florida from Venice to Port Charlotte, basing most days in North Port." less...
