Fun Facts

When I'm not tutoring, I am a freelance writer and translator. I have published a play, a collection of short stories, two book translations, and hundreds of articles on just about every topic under the sun. Working as a writer is a lot like doing homework all day long. But who says homework can't be fun?

About Me

Currently working as a freelance translator and writer, I have taught English and Art for over 12 years. During this time, I have had the privilege of working with students from many different backgrounds. I believe that learning should be fun, and I infuse my great sense of humor whenever I see an opportunity for it.

During my time as a classroom teacher, I have spent many a lunch period and afternoon working with students who needed extra help. I have worked with students from many different backgrounds. There is nothing quite like it, when I see that light bulb flash inside their heads, the one that says, "Yep, I get it."

I believe that a good tutor is not only knowledgeable, but also has a good portion of patience and humor. Kids struggling with their school work during the day aren't usually looking forward to doing more schoolwork in the evening. Therefore, I use examples they can understand.
