When tutoring, I strive to help students meet their immediate (practical) goals while encouraging them to discover more about learning styles and strategies so they can succeed in all areas of study. In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts of all kinds, gardening, cooking,...

I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a student come away with some interest in and enthusiasm for the topic. (Soft evidence for the last is that my daughter earned a PhD in neuro-science, and...
