Hobbies
Personally, I enjoy reading, jogging, and gardening. Also, I am currently writing a book - an allegory. I am an optimist. As I work with students, we build up from the student strengths. We work together, so the student feels accomplished. All my students are motivated. Being a lifelong learner, my enthusiasm is contagious. In this way, I am also seen as a mentor. I appreciate the hard work of each and every one of my students. Tutoring is truly a very rewarding experience for me.
