Learning is More Than Memorizing
I take a no-nonsense-type approach to going through the curriculum, however I strive to make the material accessible and exciting for each person that I work with. I am a big believer in engaging with the specific lesson in a way that shows how it connects to the larger subject at hand. I find that this dramatically increases comprehension and retention of the information. Simply memorizing facts and formulas does not facilitate the growth of critical thinking that is so crucial to true learn... Read more

Stephen
Experienced and Friendly Math Teacher
I currently teach Honors Geometry at a Great Hearts school. I was drawn to teach at a classical academy because I knew I'd not only be able, but in fact encouraged to do more than simply put formulas and worksheets in front of my students.

English and reading made easy
When I tutor a student, I begin by learning what the student already knows. How does he feel about the subject and why. Next, I try to determine the source of the difficulty, for example, how did the teacher present the material and where is the disconnect. I then try to find an alternate method of presenting the material. Once a student understands the relevance of the subject in his life and is able to handle the material with ease, a negative attitude, one of the biggest barriers to learni... Read more
Joe
Professional photographer with CEO pedigree
I spent my corporate life on the sales and marketing side of a public real estate development company where the path to promotion was to plan for succession. In other words, in order to move up the ladder you first had to replace yourself. Which is what I did for nearly 20 years until I left the company as its Chief Sales and Marketing Officer and member of the Board Of Directors. Along the way I developed a passion for teaching others not only what I knew but how to bring out the best in the... Read more
