What inspires my work with students:

• I enjoy working with students with learning differences and a general distaste for school. I try to make learning fun through the use of hands-on games, integrating multi-curriculum lessons, and injecting humor into the tutoring sessions. My goals for students are to develop strategies and techniques that make school work more tolerable and to provide each student with a roadmap to success.
