Award-Winning Phonics Tutors serving Lawrence, MA

...allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth.

In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of me, utilizing their unique interests and talents while meeting their needs.

...rather than for external factors like good grades or others’ approval. I believe that when youth and adults alike view school or learning as something to suffer through for a distant goal in the future (a “no pain no gain” mindset), their willpower eventually wears thin in times of stress and hardship. Teaching people to like to learn and succeed in a way that works for them gives them a value that lasts throughout life....

As people gained confidence, their frustration disappeared and they were able to use the tools they already had to learn material...

It was incredibly rewarding to see young minds develop their coding abilities and grow confident in problem-solving. Outside of tutoring, I have...

...am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep.

As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient...
