John

Certified Tutor

Teaching Philosophy:
I believe in two learning fundamentals. First you must teach people not lessons. Each student requires an adaptive teaching model to best address their learning needs.
Second, teaching through concepts. Learning a concept, rather than learning through a variety of memorization techniques, will build a foundation of knowledge that enhances critical thought and nurtures intelligence.
