  ​Ms. Moran
  While I do enjoy classroom work, the one-on-one aspect of tutoring taps into more of my strengths
  and the excitement I feel about working with people -- the ability to quickly identify the roadblocks
  and being able to address them more efficiently.  I love seeing that lightbulb of understanding
  switch on!

  ​Ms. Kelly
 Education and teaching young people came to me through the performing arts.  Ballet is taught 
  through careful planning, scaffolding, and constant practice; strengthening and training each
  muscle group so that they can move together with grace and beauty.   The process of helping 
  children read, write, and do arithmetic is one of the same as training a professional dancer.   I truly 
  enjoy having the opportunity to educate students one-on-one.  This allows me to focus on their 
  strengths and goals, build a relationship, and create an environment were learning is happening.  
  When a child has the fundamentals to learn and then the confidence to continue, school can 
​ become a stage where both exploration and success are performed.

  ​Mr. Guter
 As a math tutor and experienced former classroom teacher, I love helping students find a new 
  connection to math concepts that previously frustrated them.  My approach is encouraging, patient, 
​ and goal-oriented -- helping you to reach untapped levels of success.​​

  ​Ms. Vanderhill
  What I love about tutoring is that it provides a learning environment in which the student is taught
  as an individual, at her own pace, with her distinct goals, needs, and learning style in mind.  
  Connecting with students and helping them to build confidence and be successful in school is a very
  rewarding experience.  As a former teacher and school administrator I miss those experiences, and
  tutoring has provided an opportunity for me to return to them.
​

We guide students along their own path.​​
