Experience

I've been a tutor since October 2001, with a special focus on gifted, highly creative, neurodiverse, ELL, and twice exceptional students in the high school and college levels. I have extensive experience integrating kinesthetic/hands-on learning, technology supports, and meditation techniques, particularly for literacy development. I am a phenomenal nerd about the neurobiology of learning. I have websites featuring my research and teaching strategies at http://kinestheticwriting.wordpress.com and http://resilientbrain.net. I will work around your weaknesses and find your hidden strengths.
