About Me

My primary aim in life is to always strive to become a better person. I do this be being a lifelong learner of both academic and social wisdom. It is this drive that pushed me through my studies of English and Philosophy while at Saint Peter's University, and my studies of Education while completing my master's degree at Montclair State University. The drive to become a better person includes a desire to leave the world a better place than I found it. I do this through holding myself to high standards when it comes to kindness and helping others. I invite others to grow with me as I use the knowledge and skills I picked up in my studies, and during my experience as an educator. I have experience as a head classroom teacher, an assistant teacher and a tutor. My formal professional experience has been in grades one through high school, both in the states and in China. I have also tutored students from toddlers through the graduate school level. Tutoring with me will be warm and firm, as well as fun and challenging. Please refer to my wide range of qualifications to see how well rounded I am when it comes to my instructional abilities.

Q&A with Stephen

My teaching philosophy holds that all learners are equal. This doesn't mean that we all have equal knowledge and interests. In means that we have the equal right to grow from our current abilities so that we can expand our knowledge and interests. My approach is to meet learners at their academic level so that we have a stronger footing from which to grow. Whenever possible, I link all strategies and skills to what the learner is interested in. This will increase the chance that learners will carry their knowledge beyond simply your next test or assessment. My knowledge, warmth, patience and sense of humor help set a tone for learning that will help the learner feel safe to take risks when rising to challenges that are calibrated to build confidence and ability.
