Tutoring Approach:

I offer a variety of approaches to learning for my clients that they can choose from. Many of my clients enjoy lessons that involve art, puzzles, are physically engaging and/or musical when available. I support inquiry and project based approaches to learning. I offer lessons that are most relevant to my student's daily lives from taking a taxi or making a recipe to or more intellectual or conversational topics. Your learning will be dynamic and differentiated to best fit your needs and interests. * Note : I am specifically offering conversational topics for English tutoring at this time.
