My teaching style includes positive reinforcement, making and achieving small measurable goals that lead to big measurable goals, and teaching and instilling correct daily practice methods.

I use many resources and try to differentiate activities to keep students engaged and learning. Read More

At the end of each lesson I critique the progress, and give the student, and its parent a written copy of the critique, as well a written lesson plan for the upcoming week. In this way everyone involved is well informed as to what has transpired and what is desired in the next week. Read More
