Challenge to Achieve

Direct Pay
World Language, Language Arts, Math
All Ages
Middle School, High School
I tutor students in grades 7 through college, singly and in small groups, in math through Calculus II, all natural science, English including essay writing , and French and Spanish levels 1 and II. I also guide students in SAT/ACT exam preparation. With each student I try different ways of explaining concepts; so as I get to know the student, I determine his/her language of learning. I then can teach the student in the way he/she understands best. By challenging students to go beyond what they think they can do, I give the responsibility to succeed to the students and empower them to think independently.

I provide private figure skating instruction for recreational and competitive figure skaters. Students will be given the opportunity to test through the ISI levels, learn routines to music, perform at ice shows, and compete at local competitions. Off-ice lessons are also available to help build strength and balance, improve coordination, and increase flexibilty. Ice skating encourages young students to learn how to set goals and achieve them, helps with focus, and can improve mental and physical strength. I also provide skating instruction to hockey players at all levels; focusing on edge control and how to maximize power. My goal in coaching is to encourage a love for the sport of skating, figure or hockey!
