"Greetings,

Professional development is a process that occurs at every stage of one’s life and allows one to realize the potential embodied within the heart of our boldest dreams. Effective tutoring offers a profound level of engagement, wherein both the student and the tutor define and refine goals in their pursuit of excellence. I agree with Howard Gardner’s conclusion that there are multiple learning styles, yet seek to define an accurate means to appeal to a student’s learning style in a manner which enhances and maximizes both desire and learning capacity. My experience as a tutor began at an early age, and continued both throughout my undergraduate career at the University of Arizona and subsequently during my tenure at the University of California, Berkeley. My training as a researcher allowed me to hone these skills into a methodology that simplifies complex subjects and enlighten those with the desire to learn. Learning is by no means new, but rather a continual progression about a canonical idea that creates harmony among all of our experiences. In the end, we attain a heightened level of preparedness, a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter and a functional understanding which affords us the ability to masterfully operate within our field of expertise. Gaining mastery in any endeavor, therefore, requires a mind_scope, that which allows us to visualize our goal and navigate the academic terrain until success is achieved. I wish you well and look forward to assisting you along your journey!

Cheers,

David H." less...
