Intro


A solid education is the foundation of a successful life. It is every
child's right to receive the best possible education. However, the
ever-mounting pressures to be accepted at a good university have made
academic life terribly demanding. Many students are frustrated by this
sense of overwhelming burden, either falling behind in their grades or
losing interest in studying altogether.

As a result, parents who want their children to excel at school are
looking for private tutors to help improve their children's attitude
and performance. More than just a homework helper, the crucial
importance of a tutor is to have the expertise to provide exceptional
guidance and insight. Each student can then fully understand the
subject and excel to his or her full potential. The tutor is a mentor
who fosters a sense of challenge and accomplishment.

 


Bio

As a graduate student at Stanford University, I was a Teaching Assistant
and tutored high school students as well. I experienced a great satisfaction
as a teacher because it was inspiring to help others learn. After my doctoral
studies, I pursued and attained an MBA and, for many years, was very
successful in business. However, that sense of deep inspiration was missing.
One day, a friend asked me if I would help his daughter with her French class,
knowing that I spoke French fluently because I had lived in France while
studying at the Sorbonne. That sense of satisfaction returned and marked the
beginning of my new career as a private tutor.

I have a proven record of success with my students in all core middle and high
school subjects. My tutoring expertise gives students the personal guidance and
instruction they need to succeed and reach their highest potential. Parents are
equally happy because they watch their children obtain not only improved grades
but a greater sense of self-confidence and achievement.
